Comments
No known congestion at this time with the current TSR
queue. If needed, CREP will reconductor the line they are
1
$0 connected to in the SOGF area.
If needed, CREP will reconductor the line they are
$8.75 connected to in the NOGF area.
If needed, CREP will reconductor the line in the Billings
$25 area.
If needed, CREP will reconductor the line in the Bozeman $12.50 Billings area.
At this time, no transmission congestion has been identified
and it is assumed that there is capacity on the lines to
$0 accommodate 25 MW.
WAPA interconnection, balancing and regulation reserves,
Unknown and transmission service costs are unknown.
1. Assumes the project is injecting its power a the Great Falls 230 Switch Yare. Should a project connect on one of 100 kV lines in the south
