Transmission
line in South
Dakota
US-based electricity provider Otter
Tail Power Company and utility
company Xcel Energy have filed an
application with the South Dakota
Public Utilities Commission (PUC) for
permission to build a high voltage
transmission line.
The Associated Press reports that
the 70 mile long, 345kV power
line is planned to run from a new
substation, three miles west of Big
Stone City in South Dakota, to an
existing substation at Brookings
County, about 12 miles east of
Brookings. If approved, Otter and
Xcel's permit will cover the southern
40-mile portion of the project from
north of Gary to Brookings County.
The two companies are expected
to bring the power line operational
by 2017.
The South Dakota PUC will hold
a public meeting during July to
consult local residents.
