Establishes priorities for siting new electric transmission facilities in Illinois.
The Illinois Electric Transmission Colocation and Siting Priority Act sets priorities for siting new electric transmission facilities. It mandates using existing public utility corridors first, followed by state highway corridors, and then new corridors. The act allows public utilities or transmission developers to request colocation of high-voltage transmission lines on public rights-of-way or highways, subject to approval by the Secretary of Transportation. Denials of colocation requests must be justified and reported to relevant agencies.
