Construction Begins on 250-Mile Transmission Line in North Dakota
Construction began this week on Minnkota Power Cooperative’s $312 million, 250-mile transmission line, which will run from Center to Grand Forks, North Dakota. The 345-kilovolt transmission line is the longest line built in North Dakota in more than 30 years and should be completed by the end of 2013. The line will deliver coal-fired power from a plant near Center, which will allow Minnkota to designate an existing transmission line for wind energy.
