Basin Electric Gears Up for Power Plant Expansion

Basin Electric Power Cooperative plans to construct a 90-MW, gas-fired addition to a 45-MW facility currently under construction in western North Dakota.  Construction of the expansion project should begin in April 2014 with an operational date of January 2015.  While the cost of the project and the number of jobs to be created are yet unknown, the transmission infrastructure is already in place to serve the facility.  The Bismarck Tribune has the full story.
