Letter about Harmony data center…
A 55-megawatt data center in Harmony would represent an enormous new electrical load. By rough annual consumption, it would use about 54 times as much electricity as Harmony’s municipal system and roughly twice the electricity currently used across all of Fillmore County according to available data. That scale deserves careful scrutiny before any commitments are made.

Wray opened the presentation by questioning the utilities’ case for “need,” outlining the projected benefits and costs of the proposed 765 kV line, and warning that ratepayers could be left funding a $21.8 billion project with doubtful payback. Wray said project backers have framed the line as necessary to meet Minnesota’s 2040 clean-energy goals and to improve grid stability, but argued the Certificate of Need does not spell out where the power would be generated, where it would go, which substations in Minnesota would use it or how Minnesota customers would actually benefit. He noted that the proposed 765 kV line would carry roughly six times the power of the 345 kV lines north of Rochester, yet an independent market monitor for the Midcontinent Independent System Operator, appointed under Federal Energy Regulatory Commission rules, has warned the backbone is “extremely expensive” and could end up with a true
