Permitting

The SOO Green HVDC Link is committed to meeting all regulatory requirements and working with all appropriate agencies to obtain the proper permits needed for construction and operation. SOO Green avoids sensitive wildlife habitat and environmental impacts by utilizing existing transportation rights-of-way.

This approach simplifies the project’s permitting process and has garnered support at the local, state, and federal agency levels.

The SOO Green HVDC Link team is committed to working closely alongside community stakeholders and landowners throughout all stages of development.

In 2020, SOO Green HVDC Link hosted informational meetings in each of the project counties in Iowa.
