Black Mountain Expansion Project
UniSource is working to establish greater energy independence and security for customers to reduce our reliance on the regional energy market, where resources are increasingly scarce.
New generating resources will support projected growth and economic development in Kingman, Lake Havasu and throughout UniSource's Mohave County service territory. To satisfy growing customer energy needs, UniSource is exploring a possible expansion of facilities at the Black Mountain Expansion Project located about 15 miles southwest of Kingman. If the station is expanded, it will require a new 230 kilovolt (kV) generation tie transmission line connected at the Griffith Substation which is owned and operated by Western Area Power Administration.

A Feb. 3 public hearing in Kingman before the Arizona Power Plant and Transmission Line Siting Committee will be rescheduled to a later date. Please check back here in the near future for more information.
UniSource is in the due diligence phase of this process, collecting and analyzing information before making a final decision to move forward.
