Upgrade for Major Power Line
By Paul Bougie,
2026-08-20(Center, ND) — A major power line running between North Dakota and Minnesota is getting an upgrade. Minnesota Power broke ground Wednesday on a new terminal project in Center to replace 50-year-old aging equipment. The project will eventually let the line carry nearly double the amount of electricity it does right now. But officials say the biggest upgrade is that power will finally be able to travel in both directions, depending on who needs it. For now, the line will be used mostly for sending electricity to Minnesota Power in Duluth. The main source will be wind power. North Dakota reports 30-percent of the state’s electricity was exported last year.
