Invenergy requested that the U.S. Department of Energy withdraw the corridor designation in Oklahoma, and it supports the decision to remove the Delta Plains Corridor from the National Interest Electric Transmission Corridor (NIETC) Designation Process.
Invenergy’s Cimarron Link transmission project will deliver Oklahoma power benefitting Oklahoma families and businesses. Invenergy worked with Oklahoma stakeholders to ensure their concerns were heard by the federal government, and this outcome ensures the Cimarron Link project will continue to advance through existing state and local processes for developing transmission lines. Over the last 18 months, all landowners on the Cimarron Link primary route have been contacted by project representatives and provided easement agreements with above-market compensation offers.
Cimarron Link’s 1,900 megawatts of new energy supply will improve grid reliability, stabilize affordable energy prices for Oklahoma consumers, and strengthen long-term energy security in the region. The High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission project will also drive economic development and community benefits across Oklahoma.
