As a somewhat interesting aside, the transmission line associated with this project (the "SunZia" project) has been a bit mired in a web of (legitimate) complexities, mostly related to environmental protection and Indigenous sovereignty.
The San Carlos Apache Tribe and the Tohono O’odham Nation in particular have protested the line's route in Arizona, and it's currently in Bureau of Land Management review.
