Resources for further information

Welcome to our resources page, where you can find a wealth of helpful information. We've gathered links to articles, maps, and other resources, to deepen your understanding of the projects we are opposed to. 

This link will take you to an interactive map from the LCRA, where you can see clearly the proposed lines, the lots notified (those with property the lines runs across, and those with a livable structure within 500 feet of the center line of the proposed power line), and where the line sits over satellite imagery (viewer must toggle the "6in Imagery" layer in top right corner of the screen). 

This is the detailed ERCOT plan to "provide reliable service for their customers and to protect the ratepayer," at a tax-payer cost of $33 billion. (Click here for a helpful summary of the full document posted by a local business.)

Every land owner should understand the true risks of this project, including the effect on the value of their land. Eminent domain settlements are only part of the story. 

Affected by the same transmission project as the Burnet Hill Country, this group is working to preserve their natural resources by creating community through communication in order to engage in education regarding preservation and conservation of natural resources, wildlife, habitat, ranching heritage and rural community within the geographic area known as the Edwards-Trinity Aquifer. Their website is full of incredibly helpful information.

A thorough article covering how the massive transmission lines threaten Texas land, water, and families. Reach for the TRUTH behind this $33 billion project—and how you can advocate for yourself, your property, your family, and your community. Do not let anyone tell you that you cannot make a difference. Educate, communicate, develop community.

Texas House Bill (HB) 5066 is a 2023 state law that aims to improve the transmission of electricity by requiring the Public Utility Commission (PUCT) and ERCOT to proactively plan for the state's growing grid needs and address areas with high electrical load growth, like the Permian Basin. Key provisions include directing the PUCT to develop reliability plans for regions with high load growth, speeding up the approval of new transmission facilities, and providing a framework for planning and implementing necessary transmission service improvements to ensure a more robust and reliable grid for Texas customers. The bill also changes the timeline for the PUCT to approve or deny an application for a new transmission facility, requiring a decision within 180 days instead of the previous one-year period.
