<br />n~?.~4'2. <br /> <br />REPORT OF COLORADO RIVER COMMISSION OF NEVADA <br /> <br />21 <br /> <br />PACIFIC NORTHWEST-PACIFIC SOUTHWEST INTERTIE <br /> <br />The commission was successful in its participation with interests in Arizona <br />in the inclusion of a 750-kv direct current power transmission line from the <br />Columbia River to the vicinity of Hoover Dam. For many years analyses have <br />indicated the desirability of interconnection of power resources between the <br />northwestern and southwestern states. As the plans for this interconnection <br />became firm it was apparent that the only way that Nevada could participate <br />in the benefits of the interconnection would be over the City of Los Angeles' <br />lines which could be used to move power from the terminal point of an inter- <br />connection in the Los Angeles area to the vicinity of Hoover Dam. <br />The Pacific Northwest-Pacific Southwest lntertie, as now being planned <br />and placed under construction, consists of two 500-kv alternating current <br />lines and one 750-kv direct current line from the Columbia River southward <br />to the Los Angeles area, two 345-kv AC lines from the Mead Substation to <br />Phoenix, Arizona, a DC line from the Mead Substation to Los Angeles, and <br />of principal interest to Nevada, a 750-kv DC line, 835 miles long, terminat- <br />ing at the Mead Substation and having a capacity of 1,300 megawatts, to be <br />operative in 1971. <br /> <br />3, <br />
