Project Summary
The project is part of Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) Long Range Transmission Planning (LRTP) Tranche 2.1 projects, approved in July 2024 under the MISO Transmission Expansion Plan 2024 (MTEP24).
MISO and the applicants have identified a need for up to 10,000 megawatts of additional electrical transmission capacity in Minnesota. As described in the Certificate of Need application and MTEP24, the project is intended to:
- Address projected reliability overloads and support compliance with national electric reliability standards
- Improve efficiency in meeting current and future reliability needs
- Provide capacity to serve forecasted residential, commercial, and industrial demand, supporting long-term growth
- Support the transition from fossil-fuel generation to carbon-free energy resources while maintaining system reliability
