Transmission fight continues with key high voltage lines
In Topeka a deal to end the dispute over building a major wind power transmission project in southwest Kansas remains unsettled. Westar Energy and ITC Great Plains propose different routes for the V plan, involving 175 miles of lines from Wichita to Liberal and Medicine Lodge to the border, or a tie point near Clark Comanche Kiowa to Spearville. Regulators face a decision and lawmakers warn it could take over a year. The upgrade would boost regional capacity and help Kansas export wind power eastward.
