Houston-based Clean Line estimates the Grain Belt Express will cost $2bn and will “enable” $7bn investment in wind projects. The project would be 780 miles long.
Clean Line had applied for a “certificate of convenience and necessity” to construct, own, operate and maintain the overhead line and associated facilities in eight Missouri counties.
The Missouri Public Service Commission (PSC) ruled that Clean Line met only two of five criteria it used to determine whether it would approve the project - that it had the financial and technical ability to provide the proposed service.
