Developer Crownbutte Wind Power has been informed by the Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator (Midwest ISO) that its 20 MW wind project near Elgin, N.D., and its 20 MW wind project near Wibaux, Mont., have been fast-tracked through the current system planning and analysis phase of the interconnection queue to the final definitive planning phase.
Crownbutte says the wind projects were fast-tracked because they posed no impact and minimal system upgrades required for interconnection.
Crownbutte says the Elgin and Wibaux projects can begin construction when they finish the last stage in Midwest ISO's process and are granted interconnection without having to wait for new transmission lines to be built.
