The largest renewable energy infrastructure project in U.S. has broken ground in New Mexico.

The SunZia transmission line will stretch 550 miles (885 km) carrying electricity from massive wind farms in central New Mexico to metro areas in Arizona and California. The system expected to come online in 2026.

Build out that grid, baby! ⚡

“The #ProvincialGovernment's pause on #renewable energy has also prompted some companies to rethink their plans for energy storage in Alberta, said Jorden Dye, acting director of the #BusinessRenewablesCentre, a Calgary-based organization that helps match developers and buyers in the renewable sector.

Companies behind at least four #Alberta projects that included both renewable generation and #EnergyStorage have hit the brakes on their plans, Dye told CBC News.”
