LUCKY CORRIDOR
New Mexico Transmission Project
The Lucky Corridor is an independent transmission project in Northern New Mexico. The project enables the development of more than 850MW of gas, solar and wind generation assets in the northern and eastern New Mexico regions.
The Lucky Corridor project is approximately 100 miles of planned, new electrical transmission, consisting of double-circuit, double-conducted 230 kV line.
This transmission line project creates a reliability loop with Tri-State’s 230 kV transmission line at the Gladstone Substation near Farley, New Mexico, and also accesses, with new transmission capacity, one of the West's highest energy resource areas, containing New Mexico’s wind, solar and natural gas resources.
Construction is projected to commence Q2 2014 with an in-service date Q1 2016.
