Plans for North Dakota High-Voltage Line Move Forward
Minnkota Power Cooperative recently obtained approval from the Sheridan County Zoning Board for a planned 345-kV transmission line that will carry power over much of North Dakota. Zoning approval is still required from three other counties and one township. The North Dakota Public Service Commission also approved a certificate of corridor compatibility for the line, which is expected to be completed sometime in 2013. The Bismarck Tribune has more.
