Peoria County Reliability Project

Public and Stakeholder Involvement

Our project team gathered and reviewed data from community members, landowners, and stakeholders in the area during different stages of the Project. Our first phase of engagement was September 13 – September 26, 2022, to gather input on the Route Segments. All input received was reviewed and considered during the development of the Preliminary Route Alternatives. Our second phase of engagement was November 14 – November 27, 2022, and to gather input on the Preliminary Route Alternatives. All comments collected were reviewed and considered by the project team during the development of the selected and filed Final Route. We appreciate everyone’s participation during each phase of engagement.

Community Benefits

As we continue to serve and invest in our communities, new projects — like the Peoria County Reliability Project – allow us to continue supporting the needs of our customers in your area.

Next Steps

With the ICC approval of the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for the Peoria County Reliability Project, easement negotiations will begin with affected landowners in late-2023 with construction anticipated to start in spring 2024. Landowners of record whose property is crossed by the Final Approved Route will receive a mailed notification letter from our project team and the ICC. Our goal is to have this new line in service and providing benefits to the local community by December 2025.
