Large-Load Customer Requests

Partnering in business, powering growth

This information is for Liberty’s commercial and industrial electric utility customers who have substantial energy demands. Whether you’re planning a facility expansion, launching a new project, or upgrading equipment, this portal is designed to provide a streamlined way to engage new or existing large-load customers.

What is a large-load customer?

Large load customers are defined as new or existing customers with a demand of 10 megawatts or larger at a single point of interconnection sourced from the transmission system.

Below you will find information on the procedures and requirements for an orderly queue for processing your request. We want to partner with you through this process.

These requirements are necessary for Liberty’s continued safe and reliable operation of our transmission and distribution system and the security of the transmission system operated by the Southwest Power Pool (SPP), a regional transmission organization.

Applicant responsibilities include:

  • Design, installation, and maintenance of its own equipment
  • Coordinating with Liberty during engineering and design phase of the project
  • Engaging separately with Liberty regarding request
  • Adhering to all financial and credit obligations
