  2. Generation = 5000MW • (700MW Wind) • 2.8 Million Consumers • 134 Member Cooperatives • 2000 Miles of Transmission

  3. Question: Who is the father of today’s electric transmission system? 1. Thomas Edison Direct Current “DC” 2. Nikola Tesla Alternating Current “AC”

  4. Question: Who is the father of today’s electric transmission system? 1. Thomas Edison Direct Current “DC” 2. Nikola Tesla Alternating Current “AC”

  5. Growing the Transmission Grid

  6. The High Voltage “Grid” West – East Split

  7. Economies of Scale 345,000 Volts 120 Volts

  8. Transmission Distribution

  9. Powering the Upper Midwest… Missouri River Dams Lignite Power Plants

  10. Typical Daily Electricity Demand By Hour

  11. Generation = Demand No Storage Capability The “GRID”

  12. The Grid • Pro’s • Reliable • Redundant • Accessible • Access To Markets Nationwide • Con’s • Everyone Is Connected – Problems Can Cascade • Remote Congestion Can Limit Local Schedules

  13. Regulation: FERC: Regulates Interstate Electricity Transmission State Public Service Commissions: Regulate Internal State Transmission NERC: Sets Mandatory Reliability Standards

  14. Energy Markets

  15. Expanding The Grid • $125,000 per mile for 60,000 Volt lines • $250,000 per mile for 115,000 Volt lines • $375,000 per mile for 230,000 Volt lines • $1,000,000 per mile for 345,000 Volt lines • Transmission is ~7% of Average Electric Bill

  16. MISO Regional Generation Outlet Study $15 to $30 Billion of needed transmission upgrades

  17. Bakken Area North Dakota Active Oil Wells ~ 190

  18. Basin Proposing AVS-Neset 345KV Transmission Line 200 Miles Long, In Service 2015
