Proposed High Voltage Transmission Line Drawing Strong Opposition

A proposed high-voltage transmission line drew strong opposition during a Minnesota Public Utilities Commission hearing in Sherburn Thursday. The PowerOn Midwest project would bring a 765-thousand-kilo-volt transmission line from South Dakota across southern Minnesota, including Martin County, before ending in Dakota County. The project must receive a state Certificate of Need before moving forward. Representatives from Great River Energy say the line is needed to maintain electric reliability as power consumption is expected to increase by about 25-percent over the next 20 years. However, all 24 people who spoke during Thursday’s hearing opposed the project. Concerns included the impact on farmland, whether the line is actually needed, and the possibility it could attract large data centers to the region. Martin County Commissioner Richard Koons questioned the project’s benefits to southern Minnesota, saying local counties are losing population and the electricity would largely pass through the area rather than serve local needs. Another speaker, retired Xcel Energy employee Kent Scholl, argued that a smaller transmission project could meet near-term reliability needs with less disruption. Administrative Law Judge Joseph Meyer will issue a report with recommendations by February 15th. The Public Utilities Commission is expected to make a decision on the Certificate of Need around March or April of 2027.

Alburnett falls to Spirit Lake in state semifinal debut

CEDAR FALLS – Alburnett had another thrilling victory at its fingertips. As the Pirates were on the verge of completing a comeback, it slipped from their grips and Spirit Lake snatched it out of their hands. Top-ranked Alburnett were driving for a possible go-ahead score in the final minutes, but a red-zone fumble with about a minute remaining was recovered by No. 7 Spirit Lake, which held on for a 26-21 victory in the Class 2A state football semifinal Saturday at the UNI-Dome . "If we look through the game, there's multiple times we made mistakes and gave up a touchdown or we could have moved the ball and scored a touchdown and we didn't," Alburnett Coach Nick Wooldrik said. "It always comes down to that last little play, but there's multiple things in there that we could have done better." The Pirates (10-2) produced an impressive run. They reached double-digit wins, captured a district title and advanced further than any other team in program history, going 18-5 over the last two seasons. All that provided little solace. "Maybe later," Alburnett all-state running back Laken Caves said. "Not yet." Alburnett took over at its own 35 with 4:47 left to
