North Dakota recently experienced a cold snap that highlighted the importance of reliable electricity in the state. The interruption of electricity can impact human life, safety, business viability, and food production. North Dakota is on track to expand its electric grid to ensure a reliable supply of power. The state is served by regional transmission organizations such as the Southwest Power Pool and the Mid-Continent Independent System Operator, which conduct grid reliability studies to inform the expansion of electrical transmission infrastructure. Several transmission projects are underway in North Dakota to address congestion, reliability, new load, and new generation. These projects aim to increase grid reliability, provide energy to domestic manufacturing facilities, and support the growth of various economic sectors such as oil and gas development, data processing, and agriculture. North Dakota’s commitment to responsibly developing its energy resources while protecting the land and communities showcases strong leadership in ensuring a bright future for the state. The North Dakota Industrial Commission, led by Governor Kelly Armstrong, Attorney General Drew Wrigley, and Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring, is spearheading these efforts to build a better and brighter North Dakota.
