Sever Storey Reveals Key Strategies in Dealing With Ameren Powerline Land Acquisition

Ameren is Starting Acquisition Now, Do you have a plan?

Only two short days after the Illinois Commerce Commission approved the Ameren Three Rivers Project, a 355 mile powerline crossing the entire state of Illinois, the utility hegemon has announced that property acquisition for the project will begin post haste.

On Wednesday, Ameren Transmission consultant Leigh Morris said landowners affected by the Illinois Rivers project should begin to receive written notification about the need for an easement through their property in the coming weeks.

The Illinois Commerce Commission signed off on a route running through sections of Piatt, Coles, Moultrie and Douglas counties among several others.

But, regulators denied the construction of new or larger substations in Mount Zion, Pana and a handful of other facilities, as well as delayed action on a section of line between Pana and Pawnee, affecting the route in Macon, Christian and Montgomery counties.

The company is reviewing its options in order to determine the routing of the two unapproved segments.

“There are a variety of steps that can be taken,” Morris said.

Construction is scheduled to begin as early as 2014.
