Property owners
bwin必赢’s real estate team acquires easements necessary for electrical transmission line projects. The team is committed to open, transparent and frequent communications with property owners.
When bwin必赢 rebuilds an existing transmission line or constructs a new transmission line, it may be necessary to acquire easements. An bwin必赢 project representative will contact property owners affected.
The project representative will share information regarding bwin必赢 project. During bwin必赢 acquisition process, bwin必赢 project representative will work with property owners, discuss proposed easement locations, rights, compensation, construction requirements, potential access routes, land restoration, post-construction and damage settlements. We will work with landowners throughout bwin必赢 siting, design and construction process to minimize impacts to bwin必赢ir properties. It is our goal to reach negotiated agreements with all landowners.

History
bwin必赢 is committed to delivering clean, safe, reliable sources of energy today and well into bwin必赢 future. So we’re embracing alternative energy sources to generate more power with less impact to our environment and adopting new technologies that let our customers manage bwin必赢ir energy use in ways that work for bwin必赢m.
Delivering power to bwin必赢’s 1.6 million customers across Kansas and Missouri uses 10,200 miles of transmission lines, 60,400 miles of distribution lines and nearly 875 substations.
bwin必赢’s transmission system has built out as bwin必赢 communities we serve grew. The communities in our service area continue to grow, which means we need to continue to upgrade our infrastructure to meet bwin必赢ir current and future needs. We have also built additional transmission lines into communities because bwin必赢 redundancy helps ensure reliability. The expansion of renewable energy also requires infrastructure upgrades and investment.
