  1. UNITING THE NATION’S ELECTRIC POWER GRID THE TRES AMIGAS SUPERSTATION ENERGY GAME CHANGERS “THE DELIVERERS” FEBRUARY 28, 2011

  2. Hierarchical View of the Issues facing the European Transmission System Operators (TSOs) Source: ENTSO-E: The pathway towards common European network operation

  3. China: Current HVDC National Grid Plan

  4. Europe: Extended Grid Plan • From Iceland (Northwest) to Israel (Southeast)= 3,200 mi • Concept of grid is 25,000 miles of line Solar Power Wind Power Geothermal Hydro Biomass Connections already in place or planned Vision of ABB and DLR The new high-voltage network would range from the Sahara to the polar cap. The concept calls for main lines that are 40,000 kilometers long. And parts of it already exist.

  5. Tres Amigas Is Ideally Situated in Eastern New Mexico Near the Borders of CO, OK and TX Serving as a Three-Way Interconnection of WECC, Eastern and ERCOT The Location

  6. The Location: Regional Renewable Resource Potential Significant Regional Wind & Solar Capacity Factors in Excess of 35% Source: NREL

  7. From the 2010 Transmission Summit in Sweetwater w/ HVDC Proposals

  8. Texas Economic Impact: Ripple Effect Illustrates Ripple Effect if 4.7 GW of Wind Is Developed by 2015 Direct Impacts from 4.7 GW Landowner Revenue: Over $12.9M/year Construction Phase: 10,900 new jobs $2.0B to local economies Operational Phase (20yrs): 1,150 new long-term jobs $103M/year to local economies Indirect Impacts Construction Phase: 5,700 new jobs $645M to local economies Operational Phase: 300 new long-term lobs $30.9M/year to local economies Induced Impacts Construction Phase 6,800 new jobs $714M to local economies Operational Phase: 630 new long-term jobs $62.0M/year to local economies Source: CDEAC report

  9. New Mexico Economic Impact: Ripple Effect Illustrates Ripple Effect if 6.0 GW of Wind Is Developed by 2015 Direct Impacts from 6.0 GW Landowner Revenue: Over $16.3M/year Construction Phase: 13,800 new jobs $2.6B to local economies Operational Phase (20yrs): 1,460 new long-term jobs $130M/year to local economies Indirect Impacts Construction Phase: 7,200 new jobs $818M to local economies Operational Phase: 380 new long-term lobs $39.2M/year to local economies Induced Impacts Construction Phase 8,600 new jobs $905M to local economies Operational Phase: 800 new long-term jobs $78.6M/year to local economies Source: CDEAC report
