Duel over transmission lines could continue for a while
Westar seeks state regulator block on ITC Great Plains bid to build the V-project and favors its Prairie Wind Transmission coop. The plan would link Kansas wind farms to Oklahoma networks with a Comanche County spur. Gov Sebelius says Kansas aims for 1000 MW of wind by year end, top 10 nationally without mandate, while experts deem the line key to wind growth. The KCC launched a process to decide who builds the lines, asking staff for a decision framework and schedule within 30 days with responses due 15 days after.
