PROJECT BACKGROUND
In order to meet increased electrical demands and growth, UNS Electric, Inc. (UNSE) plans to construct a new electrical transmission line in the Golden Valley area near Kingman. The project involves the construction of a 230 kilovolt (kV) transmission line and two substations to serve the existing and planned electrical loads within Golden Valley and the Mineral Park Mine. The primary and initial electrical need is at the Mineral Park Mine, which is located approximately
20 miles northwest of Kingman along the east side of US Route 93 (US 93) on the western slope of the Cerbat Mountains. Additionally, the new transmission line will enhance the electrical infrastructure to the developing Golden Valley area.
