"The Biden administration gave final approval to a $3 billion transmission line Tuesday that will carry electricity from the country’s largest onshore wind farm in Wyoming and help move more low-carbon energy into California.
The 732-mile TransWest Express Transmission Project is one of the largest transmission projects to reach final approval on the Western grid in decades. Once built, it will add 3,000 megawatts of transmission capacity and connect three planning regions across four states as the U.S. seeks to ship more renewable power to areas of high demand in the West.
The Bureau of Land Management issued a notice to proceed for the project Tuesday after some 15 years of permitting work, allowing independent transmission operator TransWest Express LLC to move ahead with construction. TransWest is a subsidiary of the Anschutz Corp."
