Construction has started on a power line between California and Arizona that\u2019s going to have the capacity to carry 3.2 gigawatts (GW) of clean energy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ten West Link<\/a>, as the 125-mile line is known, will be a new 500 kV high voltage transmission line that will connect electrical substations in Tonopah, in central Arizona, and Blythe, in Southern California.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s going to enable the two states to support future utility-scale solar development, boost reliability, and enhance system efficiency.<\/p>\n

The new power line uses the US Department of Energy\u2019s \u201cEnergy Corridor\u201d and the US Bureau of Land Management\u2019s-designated utility corridors, and it bypasses the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge and all major population centers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
