  2. Red River Valley Area . Fargo-Moorhead

  3. Red River Valley

  4. Red River Valley

  5. Red River Valley Load 2004: 1029 MW 2011: 1223 MW 2016: 1315 MW

  6. Red River Valley

  7. Studies Identified Several Critical Contingencies • Loss of Bulk Lines • Center-Jamestown-Maple River • Dorsey-Forbes • Local load-serving benefits • Alexandria • St. Cloud • Loss Reduction of approximately 100 MW Real-time • Installation of Bemidji – Grand Rapids 230 kV Line shows delay of project need by approximately 4 years • Projected need in Fargo area in 2018

  8. Alexandria Area • Loss of Grant County – Elbow Lake Line causes low voltages • Breaker and capacitor addition postpones local-area need until 2013 or 2014 • Loss of Elmo – Inman or Verndale – Wing River also causes problems when combined with Grant County line

  9. St. Cloud Area • Loss of Benton County – Granite City 115 kV DCTL causes low voltages and severe overloads • St. Regis load dropped automatically • Cannot reconfigure Granite City without new area source to provide support

  10. The End
