The project proposes construction of a high-voltage electric transmission line from northeastern Wyoming to the Rapid City area in South Dakota, to help strengthen the transmission network, enhance transmission system reliability, and address future demand for electricity and economic development in the region.
Specifically, the line is expected to connect the Teckla Substation in Campbell County, Wyoming, to the Osage Substation in Weston County, Wyoming, and the Lange Substation located in Pennington County near Rapid City, US.
The proposed route would cross private, state and public lands including lands managed by the Black Hills National Forest, Thunder Basin National Grassland, Wyoming Bureau of Land Management High Plains District (BLM), as well as the State of Wyoming.
The public meetings are planned to be held on 13 and 14 January 2014.
