The SAT 15 Substation and Transmission Line Project involves the proposed construction of a new electric substation and transmission line in the northwest portion of Bexar County near the intersection of State Hwy 151 and Wiseman Blvd. This substation is needed to provide electric service to a large business in the area.

CPS Energy has evaluated multiple geographically diverse transmission line options and has filed an application to amend its existing Certificate of Convenience and Necessity with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC).

Throughout the course of the PUC process, CPS Energy will be posting updates to major activities and information regarding this project on this webpage.
