WASHINGTON - New power line construction is more likely in the mid-Atlantic states and the Southwest after the government on Thursday said it was pushing ahead with a plan to expand and modernize the electric grid in those areas. The U.S. Department of Energy formally denied requests for a rehearing of a previous decision making it easier to build power lines in the designated areas, saying challenges by those who oppose new line construction were meritless.
CHINO HILLS - Plans to build the city's first large community center are on hold because a proposed power line would run through the property. Officials said plans for the $6million community center conflict with the $1.8billion Tehachapi Renewable Transmission Project, which would bring wind energy from Kern County to the Long Angeles Basin.
Power companies won a provision in the 2005 Energy Act giving FERC authority to overrule the historic prerogative of states on power line construction if state authorities do not grant approval within a year of application.

It has taken the intervention of a first selectman, a state senator and two state representatives, but the construction crews building a CL&P power line through back yards in Orange will finally treat homeowners with some consideration. The Connecticut Siting Council has ordered CL&P and its construction company to restrict hours of construction and block unauthorized access to the site, according to state Sen. Gayle Slossberg, D-14. The open right of way has become an illegal trail for all-terrain vehicles, which often exit through homeowners' yards.
CHARLESTON - From his third-story office in the BrickStreet Insurance headquarters, company president and CEO Greg Burton is planning for a future in which his company no longer is the sole provider of workers' compensation insurance in West Virginia. Lost costs, which is the portion of the workers' compensation rates employers pay for future claims, dropped for industries such as smelting and power line construction, but they rose for many other industries, such as oil and gas operators, who saw a 15.5 percent increase between 2007 and 2008.
Action in the state Legislature and in Douglas County this week is likely to remove a key roadblock to the construction of a $420 million power line across northwestern Wisconsin. The state Senate is expected to vote today to approve a bill giving utilities the power to condemn, or take by eminent domain, public land for power line projects. The Assembly approved the bill last week.
