Critical grid infrastructure to connect the West

TransWest Express LLC is constructing critical high-voltage interregional transmission infrastructure to make America’s power grid more reliable and more resilient.

The 500kV HVDC/HVAC TransWest Express Transmission Project represents a multibillion-dollar energy investment. It extends over 730 miles from south-central Wyoming to southern Nevada, primarily located on federal multiple-use land. TWE Project construction and operation will create good jobs across the Western U.S. and generate hundreds of millions of dollars in local and state tax revenues. The BLM right-of-way grant was issued in 2017; other key authorizations were received by 2022; the BLM Notice to Proceed to Construction was signed April 10, 2023; and construction began in late 2023.
