Power provider Clean Line Energy
Partners LLC has filed plans for
a $2 billion transmission line. The
line, awaiting approval from Iowa
and Illinois regulators, would carry
3,500MW fromnorthwest Iowa and the
surrounding region to communities in
Illinois and other states to the east.
In 2012, federal regulators authorized
the project's sponsors to negotiate
rates and enter into contracts with
customers for the 500-mile project,
which is under development by the
Clean Line subsidiary Rock Island
Clean Line LLC.
Backers of the project believe it could
enable $7 billion of new renewable
energy projects, with renewable
generators and utilities purchasing
transmission capacity on the Rock
Island Clean Line.
