Basin Electric Power
Cooperative (Basin Electric) has entered into an agreement with Western Area Power
Administration (Western) and Heartland Consumers Power District (Heartland) to
jointly operate their transmission systems on an integrated basis. The
integrated transmission facilities of the participants comprise the Integrated
System (IS). The Integrated System consists of transmission facilities owned by
Western, Basin Electric, and Heartland that are east of the East/West
electrical separation in the United States, the transmission facilities owned
by Western that are located west of the East/West electrical separation, and
the Miles City AC/DC/AC converter station (Miles City Tie) owned by Western and
Basin Electric.
Following passage of the Energy
Policy Act, Basin Electric, Western, and Heartland developed short-term
transmission contracts and rates to provide service over the Integrated System.
Transmission service over these facilities is available on the WAPA OASIS
Home Page.
As a result of these
arrangements, all transmission requests of the Basin Electric Power Cooperative
transmission system included in the Integrated System should be directed to the
Western Area Power Administration until further notice.
