Missed all the “open houses” for “Power On Midwest?” I did… sigh… It’s a big project, to put it mildly:

Info from the “POWER ON MIDWEST” website.

Keep an eye on it for additional info. There were a LOT of open houses announced in October, way too many to cover. I wasn’t here in October, and by happenstance learned of the last one on the 14th of November when in Cannon Falls… arrrrrgh, I could have shown up at that one.

They’ve divided it up into segments consistent with the initial filings with the Public Utilities Commission:

• Big Stone South-Brookings County-SD/MN Border (South Dakota)
• SD/MN Border-Lakefield Junction
• Lakefield Junction-MN/IA border
• Lakefield Junction-Pleasant Valley-North Rochester
• Pleasant Valley-North Rochester-Hampton

Do note that all the Commission dockets are now consolidated under CN-25-117 (adding CN-25-118, CN-25-119, and CN-25-120).

FYI, aren’t these 765kV structures decorative?

I must admit that I appreciate their mention of “Buy the Farm” at this stage of the process, and hope they continue. From their boards at the open houses:

Here’s their link to all those boards.

Keep an eye on that CN-25-117 docket. To do that, go to eDockets HERE at the PUC, click on eDockets again, and enter the docket number as below, click “search” and there ya are:

Onward…
