Missouri to Iowa Transmission Project
A need to increase the transfer capacity and improve reliability between our Missouri and Iowa transmission system facilitated the need for a series of transmission upgrades and a portion of greenfield construction. This series of projects in their entirety are being called our "Missouri to Iowa Project." This project is multifaceted and included a series of phases. Please view the map below to understand which portions of the project are happening in your area.
Red Portion: Existing Missouri Line Rebuilds
This section of the project will include an upgrade to an existing 30-mile stretch of line to taller, steel monopole structures with larger conductor. Supplemental easements will be acquired. Construction is anticipated to begin in late 2025.
Yellow Portion: Missouri Co-location with Ameren
This section of the project includes co-location of approximately 8 miles of transmission line with Ameren Missouri on their existing right-of-way. Structures will be upgraded to a steel h-frame design. Northeast Power is obtaining new easements on this portion. Construction is anticipated to begin in late 2024.
Teal Portion: Iowa Co-location with ITC
This section of the project includes co-location of approximately 12 miles of transmission line with ITC Midwest on their existing right-of-way. Structures will be upgraded to a steel monopole design. Northeast Power is obtaining new easements on this portion. Construction is anticipated to begin in late 2024.
Blue Portion: Greenfield Portion in Iowa
This section of the project includes new construction on approximately 6 miles of transmission line in Iowa. We are acquiring new easements. Construction is set to begin in late 2024.
