WHEN WILL THE WESTERN SPIRIT BE CONSTRUCTED?
Construction of a major infrastructure project such as the Western Spirit Transmission Line requires coordination with, as well as review and approval by, many government entities. The project is currently under development and the team at Pattern Energy will continue obtaining all necessary authorizations from federal, state, and local governments and agencies throughout 2018 and 2019.
The Western Spirit Transmission Line will undergo interconnection studies to assess any potential impact that it will have on the electric grid in the region; it is in Transmission Service Request queues for the Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM), Arizona Public Service (APS), and Tucson Electric Power (TEP).
