SunZia Transmission is a 550-mile ± 525 kV high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission line between central New Mexico and south-central Arizona, with the capacity to transport 3,000 MW of clean, renewable energy. SunZia Transmission will carry the clean, renewable power produced by the SunZia Wind project, which comprises more than 3,500 MW of new wind generation located in Torrance, Lincoln, and San Miguel Counties, New Mexico, and will represent the largest wind project in the Western Hemisphere. The SunZia Transmission project alone will generate nearly USD 1 billion in expected economic impact in each of the two states hosting the project, New Mexico and Arizona, according to the independent study.
