 A high-capacity transmission project

In 2012, ECP sold its development rights.

SunZia, formed by ECP and five partners, is developing the first phase of a 460-mile high-capacity transmission project planned between Arizona and New Mexico. The primary purpose of the line is to connect remotely sited renewable energy sources – wind, solar and geothermal projects – in both states to Phoenix and other load centers.
