Illinois Regulator Approves ComEd's 345-kV Transmission Project in Illinois

Exelon (EXC) utility Commonwealth Edison said Monday that the Illinois Commerce Commission approved its plan to build a new transmission line in DeKalb County aimed at strengthening grid reliability and accommodating rising electricity demand.The regulator issued the company a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for the Kishwaukee Area Reliability Extension, or KARE, project, authorizing the utility to proceed with the infrastructure development.The project, located south of the city of DeKalb, will include a double-circuit 345-kilovolt overhead transmission line extending about 6 miles along an existing right-of-way, as well as a new 345-kV and 138-kV substation.An existing ComEd transmission line will also be extended to connect with the new substation near the intersection of Keslinger Road and Crego Road in Afton Township.The company said the project will reinforce the region's transmission system and provide capacity to connect future customers, businesses and other facilities as electricity demand grows. It also said that it could accommodate the future interconnection of renewable energy resources."KARE represents the least cost and best fit approach to meeting the growing demand for electricity in the area," ComEd Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer David Perez said.The KARE development is ComEd's first transmission line requiring ICC siting approval since the 60-mile Grand Prairie Gateway entered service in 2017.
