US approves construction of Energy Gateway South Transmission line

The US Bureau of Land Management has given final approval for the construction of the 416-mile Energy Gateway South Transmission line from Wyoming to Utah, USA.

The 500 kV transmission line will create over 1,300 jobs and will add up to 2,000 MW of renewable energy in the Western states. The line will run from the Aeolus Substation near Medicine Bow, Wyoming, through Colorado, and end at the Clover Substation near Mona, Utah.

The project is part of PacifiCorp's Energy Gateway Transmission Expansion, a multi-year initiative to build about 2,000 miles of additional transmission lines in the Western United States.
