Why Transmission

Bringing power to where it’s needed most

Bringing power to where it’s needed most

The future requires a more robust, resilient grid. That’s why we are investing in the transmission lines capable of moving energy from where it’s produced to where it’s needed most. Invenergy is building transmission infrastructure to meet the critical energy needs of our communities and customers, as well as grid operators and governments. In the process, our infrastructure projects generate good-paying local jobs, reduce carbon emissions and enable energy security.

How Transmission Works

  1. 1 Electricity is generated.
  2. 2 Transformer increases voltage of electricity.
  3. 3 Electricity travels through transmission lines.
  4. 4 Transformer decreases voltage of electricity.
  5. 5 Electricity travels through collection lines.
  6. 6 Electricity is delivered to customers.

Improving Electric Stability

Improving Electric 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

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

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.
