A Department of Energy (DOE) proposed transmission corridor could make New Mexico a wind and solar energy powerhouse, but the Trump administration’s de-emphasis on renewable energy, and concerns from local cattle ranchers, could imperil the program.
The DOE has been accepting public comments on the proposed Southwestern Grid Connector Corridor, a five- to 15-mile wide route running from southern Colorado to southern New Mexico, crossing a small portion of western Oklahoma, which could be designated as a path for future electric energy transmission lines. The designation is in phase three of four — public engagement. Phase four is when the agency could actually designate a new corridor.
