Link here.

From the Williston Herald:
A 61-mile transmission line between Williston and Tioga has been completed and gone operational this week.

Work on the 230-kilovolt line began on May 10. The line runs from a substation owned by the Western Area Power Administration to another substation owned by Mon-Dak Utilities near Tioga.
By the numbers:
  • Total cost: $26.5 million
  • $15 million financed by North Dakota Transmission Authority
  • 406 single-pole towers, no guy wires (important issue in snow mobile country)
  • Seven towers per mile, on average
