On February 24, 2023, Ameren Illinois submitted an application to the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) for Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) for the Project. On August 16, 2023, the ICC approved a final route and issued a CPCN for the Peoria County Reliability Transmission Project. The new transmission line construction is expected to begin in spring 2024 and anticipated to be in-service by December 2025.

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.
