Power-line project would transport S.D. electricity to the Twin Cities area

PIERRE — A rural part of eastern South Dakota would be one of the connecting points for a big power-line project that would deliver electricity to the greater Minneapolis-St. Paul area of Minnesota. Great River Energy cooperative and Northern States Power, also known as Xcel Energy, filed an application this week with the South Dakota Public Utilities Commission for approval of a new substation facility near the small community of White in Brookings County.
