From the meeting
At its September 10, 2026 meeting, the board approved Resolution No. 2026-9-7 authorizing detailed engineering for a proposed 900 MVar capacitor bank and relaying upgrades at the Gibbons Creek Switchyard. The item was initiated by CenterPoint Energy based on a transmission study that said a low voltage problem could develop by spring 2029.
TMPA appropriated $1,500,000 for the detailed engineering component, and the proposal said the full project could cost about $15 million to $25 million. The board said the project would come back later for approval after engineering is complete.
