On Tuesday, October 13th, New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson held an event in Albuquerque to formally announce the launch of The Tres Amigas Project. This project focuses on the development of the Tres Amigas, which will be the first system to interconnect all three of America's power grids. The Tres Amigas SuperStation will serve as the nation's first renewable energy market hub, enabling a significant increase in wind, solar and geothermal energy that is currently limited by the nation's inadequate power transmission infrastructure.
