March 27, 2023 – Sargent & Lundy attended a groundbreaking ceremony promoting the construction of a 125-mile high-voltage transmission line project between Southern California and central Arizona on January 19. Vice President Kamala Harris, Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland, Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm, National Climate Advisor Ali Zaidi, Governor of Arizona Katie Hobbs, members of the California Independent System Operator, along with many other dignitaries and project partners were in attendance near Tonopah, Arizona – the eastern terminus of the project’s planned electric grid.
