Boundless Energy — Southwest

Transmission for the
Desert Grid.

A strategic energy corridor designed to unlock multi-resource development and enhance connectivity between major southwestern markets.

Corridor as a platform

Enabling
infrastructure,
not a single asset.

The southwest corridor is designed as a development platform — a backbone that lets a broad ecosystem of generation, storage, and offtake projects interconnect and reach regional markets. The value is not only in transmission capacity, but in the range of energy development it makes possible.

  • Enabling access
    Enhanced transmission access for resources located along or near the corridor.
  • Aggregation
    Supports the aggregation of multiple generation opportunities into a single, market-ready pathway.
  • Scalable buildout
    Development is market-informed — system scope is refined by demonstrated demand.
  • Regional reach
    A single corridor unlocks multiple demand centers across the desert Southwest.

Infrastructure convergence

Where wires
meet pipes.

The corridor is intersected by four major natural-gas transmission pipelines. Electric and gas infrastructure co-locate, enabling a multi-resource energy strategy with more flexibility and optionality than either could offer alone.

Electric
Long-haul
transmission

A strengthened backbone linking generation resources to southwestern load centers and beyond.

Gas
Four major
pipelines

Existing gas transmission cuts through the same right-of-way, enabling co-located, high-efficiency generation.

Strategic outcome
Renewables + dispatchable gas, on one corridor.

Solar, wind, and storage projects gain a market pathway while dispatchable gas-fired generation supports reliability — a resource mix that answers both decarbonization and dependability.

Market connectivity

Two hubs.
One corridor.
Many markets.

The corridor connects two major southwestern energy hubs and is designed to increase transfer capability between them — giving projects along the route access to multiple demand centers and improving market reach for the region.

Phoenix
Arizona

A growing metropolitan load center anchoring the corridor's southern end.

Las Vegas
Nevada

A northern hub with regional connectivity into the broader western interconnection.

Balanced resource strategy

A grid that
answers both.

The corridor is explicitly designed to support a diversified generation mix — the decarbonization curve and the reliability curve, on the same infrastructure.

Renewables
Solar. Wind. Storage.

Streamlined interconnection for a region with some of the strongest renewable resource in the country.

Dispatchable
Gas-fired generation.

Co-located with existing gas transmission, supporting high-efficiency capacity when the grid needs it.

Outcome
Reliability + progress.

A resource mix that supports both decarbonization trends and system dispatchability.
