Studies Identified Several Critical Contingencies
Loss of Bulk Lines• Center-Jamestown-Maple River
• Dorsey-Forbes
Local load-serving benefits• Alexandria
• St. Cloud
• Loss Reduction of approximately 100 MW Real-time• Installation of Bemidji – Grand Rapids 230 kV Line
shows delay of project need by approximately 4 years• Projected need in Fargo area in 2018

Alexandria Area
Loss of Grant County – Elbow Lake Line causes low voltages Breaker and capacitor addition postpones local-area need
until 2013 or 2014 Loss of Elmo – Inman or Verndale – Wing River also causes
problems when combined with Grant County line

St. Cloud Area
Loss of Benton County – Granite City 115 kV DCTL causes low voltages and severe overloads
St. Regis load dropped automatically Cannot reconfigure Granite City without new area source to
provide support
