I’ve been noticing that in the transmission applications for… at least a decade now… that they don’t provide the costs estimates as they did previously. For example, for the Arrowhead Project, there was a detailed estimate of everything down to the cost of the structures, the wires, salvage value of removed lines, land cost, etc., and now, it’s just one number, plus contingency (at a much higher percentage that earlier) and AFUDC. They say they use MISO cost numbers, but don’t provide that info.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haven’t seen anything in this area since the utility pipedream of WRAO, most of which is already built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See that red dotted line running east along I-90?\u00c2\u00a0 Split Rock (S. Falls) to Lakefield Junction was the 01-1958 “SW 345kV lines” way back when.<\/em>

It’s my belief that ITC’s MVP lines 3 and 4 connecting from Lakefield Jct., and heading into the northern part of Iowa was the rest of the “I-90” line, but perhaps not? Time will tell… as will the MTEP<\/strong><\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
