The lawsuit seeks to stop the U.S. Department of Energy and the Southwestern Power Administration from participating in construction of a high voltage direct current interstate transmission line across Arkansas, under a novel agreement. Clean Line Energy Partners, a private Houston based firm seeks to build five such merchant power transmission lines across the U.S. designed to transport newly deployed wind-generated energy. Organized property owners in Arkansas are challenging the Clean Line's federal eminent domain authority.
