The Western Spirit Clean Line (formally known as the Power Network New Mexico project) is a 150-mile, double-circuit 345-kV line that would run from Guadalupe, NM to Rio Puerco, NM. From the interconnection at PNM’s Rio Puerco substation, the existing PNM system would carry approximately 1,500 MW of renewable energy to the Four Corners area. Construction is expected to begin in 2018, and the anticipated in-service date for the Power Network New Mexico line is 2020.
