Blythe Energy Project Transmission Line Modifications

Written By Aspen Environmental Group

Aspen assisted the California Energy Commission with the Staff Assessment for the Blythe Energy Project Transmission Line Modifications. The Aspen Team conducted an alternative assessment, looking at different locations and technologies of the transmission line modifications.

The project allowed electrical output from the Blythe Energy Project (BEP) to be delivered to the southern California ISO-controlled electrical transmission system. Blythe Energy, LLC is the owner of the 520-MW natural gas fired electric-generating facility located within the City of Blythe, California. The proposed transmission line modifications would improve the long-term transmission paths available for delivery of the BEP electrical output to the southern California ISO-controlled electrical transmission system, referred to as “SP-15.” The transmission line modifications also serve to relieve transmission congestion and provide needed energy supplies in southern California in the coming years.
