1Opinion of the CourtMark D. Pfeiffer, Chief Judge
Neighbors United Against Ameren’s Power Line (“Neighbors United”) appeals from the Missouri Public Service Commission’s (“PSC”) conditional report and order granting Ameren Transmission Company of Illinois (“ATXI”) a conditional certificate of convenience and necessity (“CCN”) to construct a long-distance electric transmission line. Because the PSC has no statutory authority to grant a preliminary or conditional CCN contingent on the required county commission consents being subsequently obtained, the Report and Order was entered in excess of the PSC’s authority and is vacated.
