The Government May Need Your Land for the Runway 230kV Transmission Line Project<\/h2>\n

If you own land in the West Valley region of the Phoenix metropolitan area, you may have heard about the Runway 230kV Transmission Line Project. This is a project by Arizona Public Service (APS) to build a new double circuit 230 kilovolt (230kV) power line to serve two data centers in Goodyear and Avondale.<\/p>\n

The project involves building a new power line from the existing power line along the Agua Fria River, to the planned Diamond Substation, which will serve the new STACK Infrastructure data center in Avondale. From Diamond Substation, the 230kV line will continue west to connect into the Runway Substation, which serves the Microsoft data center in Goodyear.<\/p>\n

APS claims that this project is necessary to enhance reliability and help ensure that an adequate supply of electric power is available to their customers. However, this project may also affect your property rights and interests if you own land in the project zone that will be taken through eminent domain.<\/p>\n
