The initial rating of the new line is only a little over 1000 megawatts, or 1 gigawatts. It is “expected” to increase to 6600 megawatts, or 6.6 gigawatts, by 2040.
The physics of power flow on transmission lines, and the performance of types of renewable generation such as wind and solar, but not geothermal, allows one to put out what is effectively boldfaced lies that relies on a 1% truth admixture to deflect charges of intention to deceive.
Do you understand the difference between ‘power transmission’ and ‘power production’? The amount of power produced has absolutely nothing to do with the carrying capacity of the transmission lines.

Yes, I work in the field for a living, and transmission and production has absolutely everything to do one with the other. How do you think bulk of power gets from where it is produced to where it is consumed? And why do you think the transmission line facilitates production?
Real transmission systems are not configured so loosening one binding transmission constraint by 1 GW will allow 25GW of additional load to be served across the network.
