The Kansas Corporation Commission on Tuesday announced that it greenlighted an extensive project involving the construction of 370 miles of a transmission line running through The Sunflower State. KCC approved a request from Invenergy Transmission LLC to move forward with the Grain Belt Express Clean Line Project, clearing the way for construction of a 780-mile transmission line to be built in two phases. With the approval, construction on the 370 miles of the line that runs through Kansas could start late next year (2024), “The transmission line will run through Kansas and a converter station in Ford County then continue through Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana carrying wind generated energy to eastern states.
