Greentown-Sorenson Transmission Improvements Project

Indiana Michigan Power (I&M) representatives plan power grid upgrades in eastern Indiana. The Greentown-Sorenson Transmission Improvements Project involves building approximately 50 miles of new 765-kilovolt (kV) transmission line from the Greentown Substation, near Route 35 by the town of Greentown, to the Sorenson Substation, near North Gundy Road in Jackson.

This project is a transmission solution proposed by American Electric Power (AEP) and selected by Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) through its regional planning process to address identified system needs. This project will strengthen the reliability of the regional electric grid and create opportunities for future growth and development.

Your community benefits from the project through tax revenues generated from construction, job creation, and an increase in future electric capacity. Additional electric capacity creates an opportunity for growth and community development in eastern Indiana.

Community Connection One-on-One Meetings Available the Week of November 9.

I&M invites community members and landowners on or adjacent to power line study segments for the Greentown-Sorenson and Lulu-Sorenson Transmission Improvements Projects to sign-up for a one-on-one conversation during the week of Nov. 9, 2026. The additional outreach includes in-person conversations at locations in the counties involved in the projects.

November 5, 2026 - Community Connect Call:

Indiana Michigan Power (I&M) hosted a Community Connect Call on November 5 to provide an update on the Greentown-Sorenson and Lulu-Sorenson Transmission Improvements Projects. I&M representatives shared information about the projects and the ongoing process to evaluate study segments as the teams work to identify proposed final line routes. Listen to the recording to learn more about the projects and the latest updates.

Thank you to all who attended the open houses in September. The comment period has closed for the Greentown-Sorenson Transmission Improvements Project. 

The project team has documented each submission in the project’s comment record. Team members are now reviewing the information and have shared it with the appropriate routing, engineering, environmental, real estate, or right-of-way specialists. This process helps the team identify property conditions and planned uses that may not appear on existing maps or in public data.

The project team considers landowner-provided information with engineering requirements, environmental data, field studies, community input, cost, constructability, and other routing factors. No single comment or property feature determines the route, and submitting information does not guarantee a specific outcome. However, detailed property information helps the team develop a more complete understanding of local conditions as it evaluates potential routes.

If additional information would help us understand a property-specific concern, a project representative may contact you for clarification. Some questions may not have an immediate answer while studies and route evaluations are underway.

Submitting information does not guarantee a specific routing outcome. However, your input helps the team understand local conditions, property uses and concerns that may not appear in existing data. We consider this information alongside engineering, environmental, community, constructability and cost factors as we evaluate potential routes.

We will share project updates as the process advances and notify affected landowners when a proposed route has been identified later this year.
