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.
The article said that the 25GW would be produced, not transmitted. Who said transmission lines facilitate production? Certainly not me.

Well, you should have said it, because that would suggest you know something about the electrical power systems. The article certainly said it.
The problem is the line in question has nowhere close to the capacity to move 25GW of additional renewable so they can be used. Wyoming where this transmission project begins, with population much less that of Honolulu, will consume be able to consume not even 1 GW locally, behind the meter, as the industry would say. so how does the addition of a 1 GW line help make 25GW of additional renewable generation capacity feasible?
