Our Projects

North Plains Connector

The North Plains Connector is a 420-mile and up to 525 kilovolt high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission line connecting the U.S. Eastern and Western electric grids in Montana and North Dakota. 

Pecos West Intertie

Pecos West is an approximately 280-mile, 525 kilovolt HVDC intertie line stretching from Bakersfield in Pecos County, Texas to El Paso, providing a valuable link between ERCOT and the Western Interconnection.

Southline

Grid United and Black Forest Partners are co-developing the Southline Transmission Project (“Southline” or “the Project”), a 278-mile, double-circuit, high voltage transmission line and associated substation facilities. 

Three Corners Connector

Three Corners Connector is a 300-mile, up to 525 kilovolt HVDC transmission line connecting the existing electric systems near Pueblo, Colorado, and the Oklahoma Panhandle, providing a valuable link between the Eastern and Western Interconnections.  

Wyoming Intertie

Wyoming Intertie is an approximately 160-mile, high voltage transmission line that will connect the Eastern and Western Interconnections by linking infrastructure in Carbon County, Wyoming to that in Platte County, Wyoming.
