Padua Transmission Line Project

 
 

The Transmission Interconnect – Padua Grid Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) 138kV Transmission Line project in Bexar County will connect the existing O.W.

Sommers switchyard to the proposed Padua Grid BESS switchyard, located east of the intersection of Bushard Road and Gardner Road.

CPS Energy has completed an environmental analysis for the single proposed route and has filed an application to amend its existing Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN) with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC).
