The Thumb Loop project consists of 140 miles (225.3km) of double-circuit 345kV transmission lines and four new substations that will serve as the “backbone” for a feeder system linking existing and future wind farms to load centers.
It is capable of supporting maximum 5GW throughput capacity from renewable or conventional sources.
“Conceiving and completing the Thumb Loop project demonstrates the value of forward-thinking, collaborative planning between the state and key stakeholders,” says Joseph L.
