The public is invited to join representatives from area utilities
in a planning meeting to discuss the electric transmission system in Minnesota
and the Upper Midwest.
Discussion will focus on identifying problems with the existing
system in meeting the demand for electricity in the area and possible solutions,
including possible new transmission projects. A synopsis of public comments
from the meeting will be included in a Biennial State Transmission Plan the
utilities will submit to the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (MPUC)
on Nov. 1, 2003. The Plan will also include a list of transmission lines
each utility is requesting certification from the MPUC to build. The MPUC
will provide opportunity for public comment on the Plan.
The Environmental Quality Board will be conducting an environmental
assessment of each transmission line submitted for certification. The MPUC
will approve, modify, or deny the certification request for each transmission
project included in the Plan.
