Military Highway–Matamoros AC tie

ERCOT ↔ Mexico (CFE) · AC transmission

The 138 kV AC connection from the Military Highway substation in Brownsville to CFE's Matamoros network. DOE's PP-425 identifies it separately from the parallel 69 kV Brownsville Switching line; AEP and Brownsville Public Utilities jointly own the U.S. facilities. ERCOT's network manual describes this AC tie as normally open for emergency block-load transfers. The marker is at the mapped U.S. substation, not the river crossing, and no continuous live flow is assigned.

Sources and method

No operator flow feed is linked to this profile. The map and hardware describe the registered connection, not a current power transfer. A rating describes the equipment; an operator’s posted directional limit, when available, is a separate operating value. The map point identifies a sourced terminal or crossing where available, or a representative connection point; it does not trace the full route.
