(Photo: Business Wire)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThe Northland Reliability Project is an approximately 180-mile, double-circuit, 345-kilovolt (kV) transmission line, primarily following existing transmission corridors, from northern Minnesota to central Minnesota. It will help maintain a reliable and resilient regional power grid as more renewable energy is brought online, existing coal plants are transitioned, electrification continues to expand, and more frequent extreme weather events occur.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe jointly developed project is one of 18 transmission projects approved in July 2022 by the region\u2019s grid operator, the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO), in the first phase of its Long-Range Transmission Plan to integrate new generation resources and boost grid resilience as the energy transition continues. The Northland Reliability Project is the first project in this portfolio to reach this milestone of a state regulatory process.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThe pace of change is upon us and we are laser focused on getting this line built to ensure reliability for our members and customers in northern and central Minnesota,\u201d said Great River Energy\u2019s Vice President and Chief Transmission Officer Priti Patel. \u201cWe are proud to be developing this project responsibly at every juncture. We have gone to great lengths to engage with community members and critical leaders over the last year, understanding that no voice is more important than that of a cooperative member who will be hosting this project on their property.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe companies jointly held nearly 30 public open houses and numerous stakeholder meetings over the past year to provide opportunities for engagement with landowners, local governments, agencies, and Tribal Nations. This public feedback is reflected in the proposed route.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cCollaboration with other utilities is critical as we invest in the transmission needed to maintain a reliable and resilient grid in northeast Minnesota and the Upper Midwest,\u201d said Minnesota Power\u2019s Vice President of Transmission and Distribution Dan Gunderson. \u201cTransmission is an integral part of Minnesota Power\u2019s <b>Energy<i>Forward<\/i><\/b> strategy for serving customers and communities as we work toward achieving both our vision and Minnesota\u2019s energy policy goal of a carbon-free future. As energy resources change, the regional power grid that delivers energy needs to change, too. This project will help retain our outstanding reliability, provide system support as resources transition to different operating profiles, increase capacity, strengthen resiliency, and enhance grid flexibility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nSubject to regulatory approvals, the companies expect construction to begin in 2027 and the line to be operational in 2030. Total cost is estimated between $970 million and $1.3 billion. The MPUC will determine need and the final route, and separately review cost recovery for Minnesota Power\u2019s share of the project. MISO allocation will help offset costs for customers and members.<\/p>\n<p>\nUtilities across the region are significantly increasing the amount of renewable energy they provide to their customers. By reducing coal-based energy and more than doubling renewable energy, Great River Energy anticipates that by 2035 its retail electric sales will be provided by a 90% carbon-free power supply in alignment with the Minnesota carbon-free standard. Minnesota Power was the first utility in the state to deliver 50% renewable energy to customers in 2021 with plans to be more than 70% renewable by 2030.<\/p>\n<p><b>Project details<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThe Northland Reliability Project is divided into two segments.<\/p>\n<p><i>Segment one<\/i>: Approximately 140 miles of new 345-kV double-circuit transmission lines will be constructed primarily near existing transmission line corridors, from Minnesota Power\u2019s Iron Range Substation in Itasca County to Great River Energy\u2019s Benton County Substation near St. Cloud.<\/p>\n<p><i>Segment two<\/i>: A 20-mile 230-kV line will be replaced with two 345-kV circuits along existing transmission corridors from the Benton County Substation to a new Big Oaks Substation that will be built as part of a separate project. A 20-mile 345-kV line will also be replaced along existing transmission corridors from the Benton County Substation to the Sherco Substation in Sherburne County.<\/p>\n<p><i>Other improvements<\/i>: In addition to the transmission line, the Northland Reliability Project will expand the Iron Range Substation near Grand Rapids and the Benton County Substation near St. Cloud. A new Cuyuna Series Compensation Station will be built in Crow Wing County near the existing Riverton Substation.<\/p>\n<p>\nFor more information and a map of the Northland Reliability Project\u2019s route corridor, visit <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fnorthlandreliabilityproject.com&amp;esheet=53507385&amp;newsitemid=20230804020172&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=https%3A%2F%2Fnorthlandreliabilityproject.com&amp;index=1&amp;md5=0a79bdf3b764938a633ab4511486273f\">https:\/\/northlandreliabilityproject.com<\/a>.
