The Kentucky State Board on Electric Generation and Transmission Siting announced that it has granted Vectren a construction certificate for the 345,000-volt power line.
The line is to connect VectrenÂ’s A.B. Brown power plant in Posey County, Ind., to a Big Rivers Electric Corp. substation at its Reid power plant near Sebree.
The project is intended to improve reliability of the regional transmission grid and has been approved by the Midwest Independent System Operator, the regional transmission organization of which Vectren and Big Rivers are members.
Vectren has said the new line will provide a more reliable source of power to the Rio Tinto Alcan aluminum smelter near Sebree.
Vectren spokeswoman Chase Kelley said the company hopes to have the line in operation by 2012.
