Project Benefits
Reliability in electricity infrastructure and consistency in customer utility costs is a priority for Oklahoma families.
All sources of electricity require supporting infrastructure. Like pipelines that transport natural gas, transmission lines carry electricity from where it is generated to where it is needed.
Cimarron Link will unlock access to the low-cost, domestically produced energy resources in the Oklahoma Panhandle, bolstering energy security for Oklahoman families and businesses and reducing our reliance on foreign energy.
$5B+ Enabled in New Energy Infrastructure
Investment in the Cimarron Link transmission line will power economic opportunity for Oklahoma.
Thousands of Jobs Supported
Thousands of jobs supported during construction of the project representing hundreds of millions of dollars in labor income.
Hundreds of Millions of Dollars in New Local Tax Revenue
Including tens of millions of dollars during construction and additional hundreds of millions over the operating life of the projects in ad valorem taxes paid to benefit Oklahoma schools and local county services.
Tens of Millions of Dollars in Landowner Easement Payments
Over the development, construction and operational phases of the project.
Improving electricity stability
By creating additional pathways to connect customers to multiple sources of energy, Cimarron Link will improve power reliability and stabilize electricity prices.
This project will help protect customers from outages and price spikes during extreme weather events while supporting thousands of jobs, hundreds of millions of dollars in local investment, and greater economic competitiveness across Oklahoma.
Bolstering energy security
Cimarron Link will not only strengthen the reliability of energy in our region but will also reduce our dependence on foreign energy sources.
Diverse energy solutions are essential to the energy security of our country and continued investment in energy infrastructure projects like Cimarron Link is vital to building the stability of the American power grid.
Affordable Energy
In many parts of the U.S., wind energy is now the most affordable source of new electricity generation.
More than half of Oklahoma’s in-state energy production comes from wind, meaning customers in our state benefit from a low-cost, long-term energy resource.
