SunZia Transmission line will facilitate the delivery of renewable energy to the western energy markets from SunZia Wind, the largest wind project in the western hemisphere. The project is spread across Torrance, Lincoln and San Miguel counties in New Mexico.
It comprises a 550-mile, greater-or-less-than 525kV high-voltage direct current transmission line that runs between central New Mexico and south-central Arizona and can transport 3GW of renewable energy.
Construction of SunZia Wind is expected to commence later in 2023 and will be completed in 2026.
The project will then begin to deliver clean power to the western energy markets.
