Missouri regulators have again blocked the Grain Belt Express, a proposed transmission line for wind energy between Kansas and Indiana. Missouri’s Public Service Commission says the project would be in the best interest of the state, but said a recent court decision means each individual county the transmission line would run through must approve the proposal first. The 780-mile transmission line would originate in Kansas, carrying electricity generated by wind turbines through Missouri and Illinois, before stopping in Indiana. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports the transmission project would cross eight Missouri counties. Clean Line Energy, the company behind the project, says the decision by the Missouri Public Service Commission “sends a bad signal to the marketplace” of renewable energy. It’s estimated the transmission line would bring 1,500 construction jobs to Missouri, and that 68 cities in the state had agreements to buy power from the project.
