On April 27, 2016, the Missouri Public Service Commission, by a vote of 5-0, approved Ameren Transmission Company of Illinois' (ATXI) application seeking a certificate of convenience and necessity (CCN) to construct the Mark Twain Transmission Project in Northeast Missouri. As part of the decision, the Commission found the project is in the Missouri public interest because it is needed to:
|
| |
|
Promote grid reliability |
|
Relieve congestion |
|
Promote renewable energy |
|
Meet local load serving needs |
|
Provide downward pressue on customer rates |
|
The Mark Twain Transmission Project consists of a 345,000 volt transmission line that runs 100 miles from Palmyra to Kirksville and then north to the Iowa border. The project also includes building a 161,000 volt line segment to interconnect the existing Adair Substation to the new Zachary Substation. This connector transmission will be approximately 2 miles in length.
The Mark Twain Transmission Project is part of a Multi-Value Project (MVP) that was approved in 2011 by the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO), a regional transmission organization providing regional grid management.
