A transmission line carrying clean energy into Missouri is one step closer to being realized. On Thursday, Missouri’s Public Service Commission approved the final plans for Invenergy to build its Grain Belt Express transmission line. The line will bring 5,000 megawatts of energy, or roughly four nuclear power plants’ worth, from western Kansas through Missouri, Illinois and Indiana, before sending it to other markets in the Midwest and beyond. It’s expected to save residents of Missouri, Kansas and Illinois $11 billion in its first 15 years.
