The Grand Prairie Gateway project, the largest in history for its managing utility, is a 60-mile long transmission line from Byron to Elgin, Illinois. Stretching across four counties, construction of the new transmission line will reduce grid congestion and increase customer access to lower-cost generation. The project’s impact is significant as it’s projected to reduce carbon emissions by 473,000 tons over the course of 15 years.
