The route for a future Oncor transmission line through part of southern Denton County has been selected.
The Public Utility Commission of Texas on Thursday officially decided on the route for the Ramhorn Hill-Dunham 345 kV Transmission Line Project, according to the town of Argyle. The transmission line will start at a switch southeast of the FM 1171/Hwy 377 interchange in west Flower Mound, jog north of FM 1171, turn west and run near Canyon Falls, through Northlake, south of Justin and continue west/southwest to the Ramhorn Hill Switch south of Rhome in Wise County.
Area residents were first informed in November 2022 about the proposed transmission line and the many potential routes under consideration, some of which would have disrupted homes in and around Argyle and Northlake. Leaders in those towns and Flower Mound worked to deter the most disruptive routes and encouraged residents to speak out against them.
“The past months have been challenging for our residents, and we acknowledge the diligence and dedication of the Public Utility Commission of Texas in evaluating numerous potential routes. Their commitment to a thorough review process is commendable,” said Argyle Mayor Rick Bradford.
“We extend our heartfelt appreciation to all individuals who took the time to submit comments and supported our collective efforts to prioritize the health and welfare of Argyle, its residents, and our precious natural resources.”
