Medicine Bow may be known for its past, but it is also making history as the area looks to the future. As of June 2020, the state’s largest utility, PacifiCorp/Rocky Mountain Power, began the 416-mile "Gateway South", Energy Gateway transmission expansion initiative. The transmission line will extend from the Aeolus Substation near Medicine Bow (about 10 miles outside of) to the Clover Substation near Mona, Utah. Once completed, the Aeolus Substation will be able to collect the energy generated from nearby wind farms and load it onto a transmission line. The utility’s enormous undertaking will retrofit Wyoming with state-of-the-art wind power and build necessary transmission lines reinforcing Wyoming's legacy as one of the nation's leading energy producers.
