Fire threatens Tucson power supplies

NEW YORK (Reuters) –

Tucson's power company warned it may have to impose rolling blackouts if the giant fire in the eastern part of the state knocks out two big transmission lines that provide much of the city's energy supply.
Tucson Electric said on its website the Wallow Fire in the White Mountains of eastern Arizona was threatening two 345-kilovolt (kV) lines and could reach the grasslands near its 1,200-megawatt Springerville coal-fired power plant.
Even though Tucson is located away from the fire in south central Arizona about 200 miles southwest of Springerville, the power lines are one of the city's primary sources of energy.
"The loss of those lines would interrupt delivery of enough energy to serve more than half of Tucson Electric's anticipated peak energy demand under current weather conditions," the utility said.
