Dec 18, 2015 · Three Become One: The Tres Amigas superstation, now under construction outside Clovis, N.M., aims to interconnect the three main power grids of North America. Once finished, it will be able to move up to 20 gigawatts of electricity in any direction.

New Mexico is well recognized for its abundant renewable energy resources. Resources will remain undeveloped unless transmission can be built to carry that power to locations where it is needed. Tres Amigas SuperStation....

May 1, 2011 · The pioneering Tres Amigas Superstation project in New Mexico, USA, will utilize superconducting HVDC ‘pipelines’ and voltage converter stations to connect three independent US power grids: the Western, Eastern, and Texas Interconnections.

Why Is Tres Amigas a SuperStation? Tres Amigas will: • Enable the buying, selling and physical delivery of electricity between participants in and among multiple grids • Optimize the performance of renewable energy sources by offering or creating options to firm intermittent power across a broad geographic area and creating an
