Present Land Use
This BLM land is currently undeveloped and contains the SDG&E Imperial Valley Substation and an existing SDG&E 230-kV transmission line from the Substation to the US border with MX. The closest structure to the proposed transmission line is a residence, approximately 1.3 miles
Document Description
Baja California Power and Sempra Energy Resources each propose to construct double-circuit 230-kV transmission facilities from new merchant powerplants being constructed in Mexico, across the US/MX border, and continue 6 miles to SDG&E's Imperial Valley Substation, paralleling SDG&E's existing international transmission line. Inside the US, the proposed facilities would be constructed wholly within land under the control of the US Bureau of Land Management. The proposed projects will tie the new merchant powerplants to the Southern California electrical system.
