Invenergy to acquire HVDC transmission project from developer Clean Line Energy

Invenergy announced that it will acquire the high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) Grain Belt Express transmission project from developer Clean Line Energy.

Terms of the transaction, which requires regulatory approvals, were not made public.

Grain Belt line will deliver up to 3,500 megawatts of low-cost wind power from western Kansas to Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and states farther east that have strong demand for clean, reliable energy.

The project is a proposed approximately 750-mile, multi-terminal ±600 kV high-voltage, direct current (HVDC) transmission line and associated facilities. The project will originate near the Spearville 345-kV substation in Ford County, Kansas, and will terminate near the Sullivan 765-kV substation in Sullivan County, Indiana.
