What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Indiana has received $175 million in federal funding to upgrade a critical power transmission choke point located in a shared border area across multiple Midwestern states. This choke point lies between the service territories of the Midcontinent Independent System Operator and the PJM Interconnection. The border through which this critical seam runs includes Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Kentucky. The four-year project aims to unlock 2,000 to 4,000 megawatts of transfer capacity and is expected to save ratepayers between $50 million and $150 million annually by relieving congestion.
