As part of the MISO Long-Range Transmission Project #4 (LRTP 4), Dairyland is leading the Wabasha Relocation Project to strengthen regional grid reliability. 

The project will relocate an existing 161 kV transmission line that serves a critical role in providing reliable electric service to homes and businesses in southeast Minnesota. It includes:

• Relocating 14 miles of 161 kV transmission line between Plainview, Minn., and Greenfield Township in Wabasha County, Minn.

• Building a new substation east of the city of Kellogg, Minn.

Dairyland is hosting two public meetings on Nov. 9 to provide information and an open forum for questions. The meetings will be held at St. Agnes Catholic Church in Kellogg, Minn., on Nov. 9 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. For more information or a self-guided open house (available Nov. 2 – Nov. 23), click here.
