In addition to the reported capacities, a number of additional smaller lines exist between the service area of ERCOT and Mexico but is for emergency use only and not for regular trade purposes so not included. — No new lines planned as of now since existing lines fall outside FERC plenary jurisdiction but that is different with potential new lines.
