High Plains Express
The High Plains Express Transmission Project (HPX) includes a consortium of seven western electric transmission owners and an independent transmission company that are participating in a study of a high-voltage backbone transmission system between Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona.
In addition to Tri-State, the consortium participants include Colorado Springs Utilities, Platte River Power Authority, Public Service Company of New Mexico, Salt River Project, Trans-Elect Development Company, Western Area Power Administration and Xcel Energy (Public Service Co. of Colorado).
The first phase of HPX is a joint participation feasibility study that will explore transmission alternatives. The study is expected to be completed by August 2007.
