Coop to Build 190-Mile Transmission Line to Serve North Dakota Oil Boom
Basin Electric Power Cooperative is moving forward with its plans to build a transmission line that will serve growing load in the oil regions of North Dakota. Basin is applying for RUS financing, which will require an environmental review of the project. Basin must also coordinate with North Dakota’s Public Service Commission on the siting process. Construction could begin as early as 2014. The Bismarck Tribune is covering this story.
