In the United States, a large -scale project in the field of renewable sources, which can be compared to the atomic energy, has started. The cost of Sunzia's project is $ 11 billion, which is a record amount for the industry of environmentally friendly energy. The specified amount is intended for the construction of a 3.5 GW wind park and a high-voltage transmission line 885 km long, which will run from New Mexico to arizone.
The Sunzia project is divided into two separate parts: Sunzia Wind, which is responsible for the creation of a wind fleet, and Sunzia transmission, responsible for transporting electricity between states. The implementation of the project is planned to attract up to 2000 workers, and the supply of the first turbines is planned for 2025, and commissioning - for 2026. Vestas, which will be installed in Torrans, Lincoln and San Migel in New Mexico, received an order for 246 wind generators. This project will be the largest in the Western Hemisphere and the largest ground -based project in the field of renewable energy, promising to supply pure electricity to the inhabitants of Arizona and California, in particular during the early evening, when solar energy decreases.
