Here are notes from yesterday’s Brookings CapX 2020 evidentiary hearing in St. Paul.

Two interesting things revealed – one, defensive as they are, expansion of the Lake Marion substation could instead be plopped down at the southern most part of “alternate” route and then use route proposal going east from that point. THey’re claiming that the Lake Marion substation is nailed down in Certificate of Need, but it is NOT, we’re doing siting and routing NOW, not then.

Two – they still can/will not declare who or what entity will own the line at time of operation.
