Clean Line selects Grundy for transmission line
Proposal aims to deliver renewable electricity to other communities
Clean Line Energy Partners has decided to install its transmission line in Grundy County to deliver wind energy from areas of the Midwest to the east — and it is now getting feedback from nearby residents.
The company is looking to bring its Rock Island Clean Line to deliver 3,500 megawatts of renewable energy to communities that do not have easy access to wind energy. This transmission line is one of four projects Clean Line is proposing across the country.
An open house was held Thursday at Jennifer's Garden to show the public the tentative outline options of the transmission lines going through Grundy County. Clean Line sent personal invites to residents directly in the paths and those about a quarter-mile around it. There are about 300 parcels of land within the corridors.
