ST. LOUIS — After a decade of setbacks, Missouri and Kansas may grant final approvals this year to the massive, four-state Grain Belt Express power transmission project, which promises to deliver wind power across the Midwest.
The project has faced various rejections, sticking points, and other hurdles over the past decade, but secured a significant approval earlier this month, when Illinois officials gave it a green light.
Invenergy, the Chicago-based developer behind Grain Belt, hailed the Illinois decision as "another key milestone for the project."
