New projects, like the Sursee-Aviston Transmission Project, help us serve, support and invest in our local and regional communities’ future energy needs.

Our goal is to have this project completed and providing reliable energy to the community by the end of 2027. In April 2023, Ameren Transmission Company of Illinois (ATXI) submitted an application to the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) requesting their review and approval of the project. On November 7, 2024, the ICC approved a final route and issued a Certification of Public Convenience and Necessity for the Sursee-Aviston Transmission Project. The new transmission line is anticipated to be in service and providing benefits to the local communities in 2027.

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 held in October 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 held in December 2022 to gather feedback 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.
