Corona, New Mexico is poised to become home to the largest clean energy infrastructure endeavor ever undertaken in the United States. The groundbreaking SunZia Transmission Project, spearheaded by Pattern Energy, is slated to revolutionize the energy landscape and impact millions of Americans across the Southwest region.
Speaking at a press conference on Friday, Senator Martin Heinrich and Interior Secretary Deb Haaland highlighted the project’s potential benefits to both the environment and the economy. Secretary Haaland touted the project’s capacity to transmit up to 4.5 gigawatts of clean energy throughout the Southwest upon its completion.
The SunZia Transmission Project aims to establish a 550-mile transmission line stretching from central New Mexico to central Arizona. Its primary objective is to deliver clean, reliable, and affordable energy from New Mexico to markets in Arizona and California.
The economic impact of the project is estimated to be approximately $20 billion, with the creation of over 2,000 jobs during the construction phase and more than 100 permanent jobs once operational, according to John Podesta, a senior advisor to President Joe Biden. This significant job creation will have far-reaching benefits and boost local economies.
Lieutenant Governor Howie Morales expressed his enthusiasm, stating that the SunZia Transmission Project aligns perfectly with President Biden’s ambitious goal of achieving 100% clean electricity by 2035. Morales emphasized the positive environmental and economic impact this initiative will have on New Mexico.
“It’s a win-win for the state of New Mexico, not only in terms of environmental responsibilities but also in terms of economic impact, and especially in our efforts to fulfill President Biden’s clean energy goal by 2035,” said Lt. Governor Morales.
The completion of the SunZia Transmission Project is expected in 2026. This ambitious endeavor will play a vital role in advancing clean energy development, tackling the climate crisis, reducing energy costs for families, and driving economic prosperity in the region.
Corona, New Mexico has positioned itself as a standout leader in the pursuit of a sustainable, clean energy future. With this groundbreaking project, the town and its residents are playing an instrumental role in reshaping the nation’s energy infrastructure and making history in the process.
