PowerOn Midwest Open House

Great River Energy, ITC Midwest and Xcel Energy will host public open house meetings across southern Minnesota to discuss PowerOn Midwest, a series of new electric transmission projects anchored by a 765 kV backbone transmission line.

Tomorrow from 10 am to noon there will be an open house at the Zumbrota VFW, 21 E 1st Street, Zumbrota.

The projects will connect eastern South Dakota, southern Minnesota and the broader region, enhancing grid reliability in the Upper Midwest to meet growing and changing energy needs in the coming decades.

The open houses will provide landowners, stakeholders and community members with an opportunity to learn about the need for the project, the timeline and the regulatory process, and provide feedback to the project team on preliminary route options.
