5. 5 Rock Island Clean Line DE NCIN PA MD VA NJ IL OH KY TN MIWV DC IA NE SD Delivers 3,500 MW of wind power 500-mile direct current transmission line Approximate project cost: $2 billion 1.4 million homes powered per year

6. 6 Rock Island Regulatory Approvals REGULATORY APPROVALS STATUS MILESTONES Illinois Commerce Commission unanimously approved the Rock Island Clean Line on November 25, 2014, making Rock Island a public utility. Iowa Utilities Board informational meetings completed in 16 counties, franchise petitions filed in November 2014. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission authorized Rock Island to negotiate rates in 2012

7. 7 Key Partnerships Kiewit will provide development support and construction management services for the Rock Island Clean Line Sabre Tubular Structures is the preferred supplier of transmission structures for the Rock Island Clean Line Siemens will provide the high voltage direct current technology solutions for the Rock Island Clean Line Southwire is the preferred supplier for the overhead transmission cable for the Rock Island Clean Line
