Southwestern Grid Connector – NIETC

Opposition to the Southwestern Grid Connector NIETC

Landowners, producers, and residents across eastern New Mexico are uniting to oppose the proposed Southwestern Grid Connector National Interest Electric Transmission Corridor (NIETC). This corridor would affect millions of acres of mostly private land and cause permanent, irreparable harm to agriculture, rural communities, and local economies.

A formal letter to Secretary Brooke Rollins outlines these concerns in detail and requests that the proposal and any related funding be permanently withdrawn.

  • Impacts over 8,000 landowners across eight New Mexico counties
  • Threatens a multi-billion dollar agricultural & tourism economy
  • Raises serious concerns over eminent domain and federal overreach
