High Plains Express Initiative • Two 1,280 mile, 500kV, AC lines through WY, CO, NM and AZ • 3,500 – 4,000 MW of transmission capacity • Connects Regional Projects • 11 parties participating • Under second phase feasibility studies
Completion of HPX Initiative • Increased local generation • Inclusion of new renewable generation plants • Reduced carbon footprint in the local community • Cost of energy favors export of local generation • Inability to utilize all local generation • Sell generation on the wholesale market to New Mexico and Arizona
