(KNZA)--The Kansas Corporation Commission has approved the construction of a 370-mile transmission line that will run through the sunflower state.
The KCC announced its approval Tuesday.
The Grain Belt Express Clean Line project will build a 780-mile transmission line in two phases.The KCC says it will run through Kansas and a converter station in Ford County, then it will continue through Missouri, Illinois and Indiana carrying wind generated energy to eastern states.
Invenergy Transmission is the owner of the project, and it will begin phase one in Kansas and Missouri, once all regulatory approvals and financing have been obtained.
Construction on the 370-mile Kansas section of the line could begin in late 2024. The KCC approved the siting permit for the transmission line in July, 2013.
