Basin Electric To Build Two More "Peaking Power Plants" -- The Williston Basin, North Dakota

From wiki: 

Peaking power plants, also known as peaker plants, and occasionally just "peakers," are power plants that generally run only when there is a high demand, known as peak demand, for electricity. Because they supply power only occasionally the power supplied commands a much higher price per kilowatt hour than base load power.

From a reader, sent in as a comment:

Another project in the works west of Williston:  Basin Electric Power Cooperative plans to build two (2) more electricity generating stations, next to where they are currently building a 45 MW peaking plant (power station).  The filing is listed below for the two new peaking plants.

If I have the story correct, earlier last year I posted that Basin Electric Power Cooperative would be building two new power stations, the Lonesome Creek Stations west of Watford City, adjacent to one that is already there.

So, right now, when this is complete, for Basin Electric Power Cooperative:

• two new power stations next to an existing power station west of Williston (Pioneer stations)
• two new power stations next to an existing power station west of Watford City (Lonesome Creek)

The Pioneer stations will be constructed across the highway (the Grenora Road) from the new State Line I and II ONEOK natural gas gathering and processing plants.

The Grenora Road between US Highway 2 and the city of Grenora to the north will now be home to two (2) natural gas gathering and processing plants (Stateline I and II) and three natural gas powered peaking plants (Pioneer 1, 2, and 3).
