The Bismarck Tribune reports:
The first of three 45-megawatt natural gas-fired power plants is operational near Williston.
The
unit 15 miles northwest of Williston is owned and operated by Basin
Electric Power Cooperative, the company said in a release. The site will
be known as Pioneer Station. Construction of the $64.5-million unit
began summer 2012.
The unit is part of a power generation plan
that includes two more units at Pioneer Station, three units west of
Watford City and a transmission line.
Other natural gas plants:
- in late November, Unit 1 at the Lonesome Creek Station, about 13 miles
west of Watford City should also be operational
- Basin also has
submitted permits for two additional units at Lonesome Creek
