AEP Texas is launching a pilot project to test a new type of composite poles in partnership with the Distribution Standards group. This project will assess the poles' effectiveness and usability while exploring innovative technologies that could improve operations.
As part of the project, AEP Texas crews and business partners attended training sessions where they learned how to install the poles. The pilot project was conducted at a new reconductor near the Aransas Pass County Airport.
