The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has approved a proposed $3.5bn Plains and Eastern Clean Line project in the state of Oklahoma, US.
The 750-mile power transmission line, which is still three years away from construction, would bring wind energy generated from western Oklahoma turbines to Tennessee.
Clean Line authority has received approval from the FERC to subscribe up to 75% of its line capacity with anchor tenants.
Clean Line Energy Partners CEO Michael Skelly said that with the approval, the company moves a step closer to constructing a clean energy future for the southeast.
"We are excited at the momentum surrounding the Plains & Eastern Clean Line and we look forward to working with our local, state, and federal stakeholders as we continue to develop the transmission line project in a responsible and transparent manner," Skelly added.
Previously, Skelly said the construction is expected to start by late 2015 and complete by late 2017.
Oklahoma Secretary of Energy Michael Ming said, "The Plains & Eastern Clean Line will create jobs, while enabling billions of dollars of investments in Oklahoma's clean energy industry."
