With a planned capacity of approximately 1,450 megawatts, the proposed facility would help meet demand from large-scale technology infrastructure such as data centers. If successful, the project is expected to create significant job opportunities and generate substantial tax revenue for local communities, all while working to minimize electricity rate impacts across the region.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Basin Electric and NextEra Energy Resources&#8217; collaboration reflects the Trump Administration&#8217;s forward-thinking approach needed to responsibly support technology growth,&#8221; said U.S. Department of Interior Assistant Secretary for Land and Minerals Management <span class=\"xn-person\">Leslie Beyer<\/span>. &#8220;Under Secretary Burgum&#8217;s leadership, we are enabling data centers and other large-scale technology users to fund their own generation. This model supports innovation, strengthens America&#8217;s energy security and helps keep electricity affordable for consumers \u2013 all while positioning the U.S. to lead in the global AI race.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a win-win for <span class=\"xn-location\">North Dakota<\/span>,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-location\">North Dakota<\/span> Governor <span class=\"xn-person\">Kelly Armstrong<\/span>. &#8220;We&#8217;ve always been a leader in responsible growth.
