Random Update On New Transmission Line From Northeastern South Dakota To Southeastern North Dakota; Jointly Ownd MDU/Otter Tail Transmission Line

For background: Otter Tail Power Company operates three coal-burning power plants which, together, produce about 65% of Otter Tail's electricity:
  • Big Stone Plant, Milbank, SD
  • Coyote Station, Beulah, ND
  • Hoot Lake Plant, Fergus Falls, MN
The Bismarck Tribune reports an update on the proposed 150-mile electric transmission line from Big Stone Plant to near Ellendale, ND, where it would connect up with a new substation there. The line would be jointly owned by MDU and Otter Tail.
