US court rejects request by tribes to block $10 bn project in Arizona

A federal judge on Tuesday rejected a request by Native American tribes and environmentalists to stop work on a USD 10 billion transmission line being built through a remote southeastern Arizona valley that will carry wind-generated electricity from New Mexico to customers as far away as California. The project approved in 2015 following a lengthy review has been touted as the biggest US electricity infrastructure undertaking since the Hoover Dam was built in the 1930s. Two tribes joined with archaeologists and environmentalists in filing a lawsuit in January, accusing the US Interior Department and Bureau of Land Management of refusing for nearly 15 years to recognise overwhelming evidence of the cultural significance of the remote San Pedro Valley to Native American tribes including the Tohono O'odham, Hopi, Zuni and San Carlos Apache Tribe. The suit was filed after Pattern Energy received approval to transmit electricity generated by its SunZia wind farm in central New Mexico .
