Photo: Vestas Vestas has finished installing its wind turbines in New Mexico at Pattern Energy’s SunZia, the largest clean energy project in the US. The wind turbine manufacturer installed 242 V163-4.5 MW wind turbines at the 3.5 GW wind farm, which is the largest onshore wind farm in the US. It’s built across New Mexico’s counties of Torrance, Lincoln, and San Miguel. The wind farm also features 674 GE Vernova 3.6-154 turbines and 10 substations. The largest clean energy project in the US comprises two arms: SunZia Wind and SunZia Transmission. The latter is a 550-mile (885 km) ± 525 kV high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission line between central New Mexico and south-central Arizona. When complete, it will have the capacity to transport 3,000 MW of clean energy to power around 320,000 US households, or nearly 800,000 people. SunZia Transmission will enable SunZia Wind to supply customers in Arizona and the US Southwest during the early evening hours, when demand is high but renewable energy supply is low. It’s going to use the same corridor as the Western Spirit Transmission Line: Advertisement - scroll for more content Map: SunZia Top comment by Ed Liked by 15 people Wind financially can stand on its own.
