Clean energy and conservation can go hand in hand.
We're honored to see SunZia highlighted by the National Audubon Society (Audubon) as an example of how developers, conservation organizations, government agencies, and local stakeholders can work together to advance critical energy infrastructure while supporting wildlife and their habitats. Audubon notes that the project benefited from years of collaboration that helped inform transmission routing, design, mitigation measures, and long-term conservation commitments.
As the largest renewable energy infrastructure project in U.S. history, SunZia is helping deliver reliable, domestically produced renewable energy across the Western grid while demonstrating the value of early, science-based engagement. Audubon's article recognizes efforts that included measures to reduce risks to migratory birds, habitat conservation investments, and ongoing wildlife research.
Thank you to Audubon and the many partners who helped shape this project. Together, we're proving that expanding America's energy infrastructure and supporting conservation goals are not competing priorities—they're shared opportunities.
