Grain Belt Express

The Grain Belt Express is a proposed 780-mile transmission line that would carry wind energy from western Kansas to customers in Indiana. Its developer, Texas-based Clean Line Energy Partners, sold the project to Chicago-based Invenergy in November 2018. After twice rejecting the $2.3 billion project, the Missouri Public Service Commission reversed course — approving the transmission line — in March 2019.
