News & Events
The proposed SunZia Southwest Transmission Project, designed to carry power over two 500-kilovolt (kV) lines from central New Mexico to Phoenix and southern California, now threatens the Lower San Pedro valley. If constructed, up to 300 sixteen-story towers would run the length of the valley, with an access easement up to 1000 feet wide and access roads to every tower. Vegetation beneath the lines would be cleared. Read more on page 16 in the March/April Vermilion Flycatcher.
