Lucky Corridor - Vista Trail Transmission Line Project

Northeast New Mexico is an area rich in renewable energy resources. To increase access to those resources, Lucky Corridor LLC, owned by Ameren Transmission, is proposing to construct a new, approximately 65-mile 345kV transmission line. The development of transmission infrastructure is a critical link to transform New Mexico and our nation’s transition to a clean 21st century economy. The Vista Trail Transmission Line Project will increase transmission capacity, bolster New Mexico’s energy transition, and spur economic growth by further investing in New Mexico’s $3 billion wind economy. As of June 29, 2023, Lucky Corridor on Aug. 5 applied to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for approval of open-access transmission tariffs for two lines under development in northern New Mexico. The Vista Trail, a separate merchant transmission project included in the filing, is an approximately 65-mile, 345-kV transmission line. It will interconnect at Tri-State's Springer and Taos substations with potential delivery, via existing southwesterly transmission, to PNM's Ojo Substation, the filing says. Lucky anticipates Vista Trail coming into service by 2027. *Project information, including timeline and contacts, has been obtained through public sources.
