The developer of the $7-billion Grain Belt Express high-voltage transmission line that would cross Illinois plans to appeal an Aug. 8 state court ruling that reversed a state commission's approval of that part of the multi-state project.
Developer Invenergy and its affiliate Grain Belt Express LLC plan to build the line that would carry power across about 800 miles over parts of Kansas, Missouri, Illinois and Indiana to connect a planned wind farm and other potential renewable energy projects to interconnection points for different grid regions.
