What is the routing and approval process?
A routing process and PUC approval process is only required for some of the CREZ projects LCRA TSC has been awarded. New transmission lines on new right of way require PUC approval through its CCN process. Substation projects, upgrades to existing lines, and rebuilds of existing lines are typically exempt from the PUC CCN process and routing studies are not required. The placement of certain new circuits on existing transmission structures requires a new CCN, unless a prior CCN has been obtained or unless landowners crossed by the facilities have given prior consent.
