DOE May Back 542‑Mile Power Line
The Department of Energy is considering providing a Federal loan guarantee to support Phase 1 of the Grain Belt Express project, which would include a 542-mile, 600-kilovolt HVDC transmission line and related converter stations. The DEIS analyzes providing that Federal financial assistance under Title XVII, and public comments are due by March 3, 2025.
Project May Affect Floodplain Lands
DOE's notice says the Project may include activities within floodplains and therefore issues a Notice of Proposed Floodplain Action under 10 CFR part 1022. If you own or use land in floodplain areas along the proposed route in Kansas or Missouri, the DEIS triggers a formal floodplain review process; public comments are due by March 3, 2025.
