Grid United, an independent transmission company, is the developer of Wyoming Intertie.
Enhanced power grid reliability in Wyoming strengthens the state’s resilience against power outages, supports economic growth, and ensures a stable power supply for industrial and commercial operations. Wyoming Intertie would allow for grid operators to transfer surplus generation to regions experiencing deficits, thereby optimizing the use of existing power generation.
Wyoming Intertie will be open to all sources of electrical power generation. As a networked grid infrastructure asset, Wyoming Intertie will not be directly connected to any specific generation source. Wyoming Intertie will transport electricity between independent grid systems to increase the efficiency of the U.S. electrical grid to the benefit of Wyomingites. Regulations governing the grid require the project to carry electricity without preference for any technology.
Approximately 106 miles, Wyoming Intertie will stretch across Carbon, Albany, and Platte Counties to connect substations near Medicine Bow and Wheatland. The route is under development while Wyoming Intertie works with stakeholders and landowners to determine a preliminary route.
Wyoming Intertie will incorporate landowner feedback and survey data before submitting a route for regulatory approval. The route is considered “proposed” until it has been approved by state and federal regulatory bodies.
Yes. There are multiple permits and approvals required, including the Wyoming Industrial Siting permit, county conditional use permits, and a rigorous environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969.

Yes. While Wyoming Intertie will purchase easements for the transmission line’s right-of-way, the land still belongs to the existing landowners and can be utilized for activities such as farming, grazing cattle, and other activities that do not interfere with the operation and maintenance of the line.
Survey permission allows the Wyoming Intertie team access to conduct various ground surveys on the property. These may include staking the proposed route and boundaries, as well as surveys that collect important geological, biological, and cultural information.
Yes. To find out more, landowners should contact their local Wyoming Intertie land agent.
Ground surveys typically begin during warmer months and continue throughout the year as weather permits.
Wyoming Intertie involves Tribal Nations early during the development process and takes an inclusive view of Tribal Nations’ rights, including working to understand the spectrum of place-based interests of Tribal Nations.
We respect the Tribal Nations as a sovereign whole, and as such recognize the contemporary and historical boundaries of the many Tribal Nations in the Northern Plains and Rocky Mountains area, regardless of territory. Wyoming Intertie understands there is more than one Tribal Nation community and it respects the sovereignty and self-determination of Tribal Nations over their land, people, and resources.
Wyoming Intertie is actively working with more than ten Tribal Nations in cultural survey and other pre-application design phases of the transmission line. Additionally, Wyoming Intertie has engaged Tribal Nations beyond the project area region, inviting their involvement in project development and respecting sovereign decisions to withhold from project participation.
Information collected by Wyoming Intertie is subject to the data sovereignty and digital jurisdiction of Tribal Nations.
