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.
Beginning February 3, 2025
A public hearing before the Arizona Power Plant and Transmission Line Siting Committee will begin on Monday, Feb. 3, 2025 in Kingman, Ariz. Public comment will be taken in a special evening session on Feb. 3 beginning at 5:30 p.m.
