Battle still brewing over Houston power line
Houston, 23 February (Argus) — A battle over a proposed $590mn line designed to move electricity from north Texas into power-hungry Houston shows no signs of cooling despite a regulatory approval last year.
CenterPoint Energy and LS Power have proposed building the 130-mile (209km), 345kV line, called the Houston Import Project. NRG Energy and Calpine, two of the state’s largest power producers with generation in Houston, oppose the project.
