1041 Permit SLI 25-3 – Three Corners Connector HVDC transmission and converter station

Deferred.

Three Corners Connector LLC (Grid United) requests a 1041 permit for the Pueblo County portion of a roughly 290-mile, up to 525 kV HVDC line from Pueblo, Colorado to Guymon, Oklahoma. Within Pueblo County this covers 29.8 miles of HVDC line, about 10.3 miles of 345 kV AC line, and a roughly 55-acre converter station east of Doyle Road and Bush Road. The system is designed to transfer up to 3,600 MW, with 1,800 MW in the first phase. The overall project is about $2 billion; the Pueblo portion is about $700 million, including a roughly $500 million converter station. The hearing was left open and continued to the November 12 land use meeting on a voice vote. Residents requested undergrounding of about 1.5 miles from Comanche to the St. Charles River, which the applicant opposed. A preliminary road use agreement fee of $2.5 million was discussed.
