GROTON GENERATION STATION PROJECT (2011)

​​Basin Electric Energy Cooperative (Basin Electric) currently owns and operates the Groton Generation Station in Brown County, South Dakota.  The Groton Generation Station has two generating units.  Basin Electric operated the generating station with a condition in its Large Generator Interconnection Agreement with WAPA that limited the output of the generating station to a 50 average MW.  Basin Electric proposed to modify the LGIA with WAPA to eliminate the 50 average MW administrative limit on its generating station, so it could produce power above the 50 average MW limit.  WAPA prepared an EIS to address its Federal action to modify the LGIA for the Groton Generation Station.
