SunZia Wind Project Goes Live as the Biggest U.S. Wind Farm
TL;DR Summary
The SunZia Wind Project in New Mexico—featuring more than 900 turbines and 3,650 MW of capacity—began commercial operations, making it the largest wind project in the United States and sending power to homes in Arizona and California via a 550-mile transmission line. The $11 billion development will boost New Mexico’s wind share to about 45% of its capacity, power roughly 1 million homes, create thousands of jobs, and generate billions in economic impact, even as developers navigate permitting and federal incentive headwinds.
