SALEM — The proposed Boardman to Hemingway transmission line took another step forward.
Oregon’s Energy Facility Siting Council on Tuesday, Sept. 27, approved a site certificate for the project and the permit, once finalized, will authorize construction of the 290-mile, 500-kilovolt line across five Eastern Oregon counties, including Union County. Federal agencies have already granted permission for the line to cross land they manage.
