The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals has dismissed transmission customers’ argument against ITC Midwest receiving an abandonment rate incentive for an Iowa line segment included MISO long-range transmission planning.

Thirteen years after it was recommended by MISO, the 102-mile, $655 million, often-controversial Cardinal-Hickory Creek line is completely in service.

Two of the developers behind the embattled Cardinal-Hickory Creek transmission line have appealed to lift an injunction on the last mile of the project that will intersect a wildlife refuge in Wisconsin and Iowa.

In what’s beginning to feel like déjà vu, Cardinal Hickory Creek’s last unconstructed mile is again subject to a preliminary injunction.

Three conservation groups filed a lawsuit against federal agencies for consenting to permits and a land exchange to allow the Cardinal-Hickory Creek 345-kV line to carve a path through a wildlife refuge in Wisconsin.

An Iowa court has formally struck down the state’s right of first refusal law, driving uncertainty for $2.6 billion worth of MISO's long-range transmission projects.

FERC has decided for a second time to leave ITC Midwest’s 16-year-old capital structure untouched over protests it results in unaffordable customer rates.

ITC Midwest can keep the capital structure it has had in place since 2007, FERC decided, blocking a complaint led by Alliant Energy.

Wisconsin's high court ruled that a regulator’s messages to developers didn't pose a serious risk of bias in the Cardinal-Hickory Creek permitting process.

A coalition of utilities, industrial customers and consumer advocates spearheaded by Alliant Energy is contesting ITC Midwest’s capital structure.
