Tres Amigas, LLC has announced that it has submitted filings with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) requesting regulatory approvals needed to move forward with the Tres Amigas SuperStation, America’s first renewable energy transmission hub.
The SuperStation will be located in Clovis, New Mexico and will for the
first time provide the capability to transfer thousands of megawatts of
power between the three US power grids known as the Eastern
Interconnection, the Western Interconnection and the Texas
Interconnection. Similar to highway rotaries or roundabouts used for
traffic flow control, multiple power transmission lines from each of
the Interconnections will feed power into and out of the Tres Amigas
SuperStation through Superconductor Electricity Pipelines. Tres Amigas
will help ensure the efficient and reliable flow of power from multiple
generation sources in all three power grids to customers across a wide
area of the US.
