ERCOT's Long-Range Transmission Plan (LRTP) calls for a new 765-kilovolt high-voltage backbone across Texas — the largest grid expansion in state history. Transmission companies like Oncor, AEP Texas, and others are now acquiring right-of-way from private landowners to build the lines.
| Project | ERCOT LRTP 765kV Transmission Backbone |
| Voltage | 765 kilovolts (new to Texas grid) |
| Total Planned Miles | ~2,000+ miles statewide |
| Transmission Owners | Oncor, AEP Texas, and others |
| Timeline | Active ROW acquisition ongoing |

The agency's appraisers work for the agency — not for you. Their initial offer routinely omits significant categories of compensation you may be entitled to under Texas law.
A high-voltage transmission easement can permanently reduce the market value of your entire tract, not just the strip acquired.
Construction and permanent easement restrictions can eliminate crop income during and after construction.
If the easement divides your property, the separated portions may lose value — compensation you're entitled to claim.
Trees, brush, and vegetation cleared for the easement corridor have real value that must be quantified and compensated.
Future building restrictions, equipment access routes, and use limitations under the easement have lasting economic impact.
The distance of towers and lines from your home, barn, or other improvements affects property marketability and value.
We work on contingency. You pay nothing unless we improve your offer.
Tell us about your property and the offer you received. We review it at no charge and identify every area where you may be undercompensated.
We bring in MAI-certified appraisers to determine true market value and all compensable damages — completely independent from the transmission company.
Our consultants negotiate directly with Oncor, AEP Texas, or whichever transmission company is involved, presenting a documented case for maximum compensation.
Our fee is a percentage of the increase we secure above the original offer. If we don't improve your offer, you owe us nothing.
National ROW is a right-of-way consulting firm headquartered in Texas. We represent landowners only — never the utility, never TxDOT, never the pipeline company. We level the playing field for property owners facing eminent domain and right-of-way acquisition.
Our team has handled hundreds of easement cases across Texas for transmission lines, pipelines, highways, and more. We know what fair compensation looks like — and we fight to get it for you.
No. You have the right to negotiate. While the company can ultimately pursue condemnation through eminent domain, you are entitled to just compensation — and the initial offer is rarely the final word.
A 765kV transmission easement is a permanent right granted to the utility to construct, operate, and maintain high-voltage lines on a strip of your land. It limits how you can use that strip and may affect the value of your entire property.
No. National ROW is a right-of-way consulting firm, not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice. We help landowners understand their options, quantify damages, and negotiate compensation. We work alongside attorneys when legal representation is needed.
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency basis — our fee is a percentage of any increase we secure above the original offer. If we don't improve your offer, you owe us nothing.
Once you sign an easement agreement, it is permanent and very difficult to modify. If you've received an offer or a representative has contacted you, seek an independent review before signing.
Call or text us directly — we answer owners same day.
Tell us about your property. A National ROW consultant will contact you within one business day.
Your case is in review. One of our consultants will look at everything you shared and reach out — usually the same business day.
In the meantime, don't sign anything and don't feel pressured to respond to their representatives.
