What environmental impacts will be considered with the siting of the projects?
Consistent with how Westar Energy operates in Kansas, Prairie Wind Transmission will adhere to all laws and regulations regarding siting of such projects and will work with interested environmental groups to address any concerns they may have along the way. One advantage to a 765-kV project is that the company believes this would be the only line along the route that will ever need to be constructed, reducing the possibility of having two or more lines in the same general area. If built at 345-kV, additional lines could be required in the future.
