Project Updates
February 2, 2026
Basin Electric Power Cooperative has made the decision to exit the NTEC partnership. Basin Electric’s decision reflects their evolving business priorities and energy resource needs. ALLETE and Dairyland remain co-owners on the project and, as critical services providers, are currently evaluating next steps to meet growing energy demand. Natural gas is a flexible, reliable and low-cost resource to support the energy transition.

Environmental Reviews
Environmental Assessments (EA) and Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) are developed to determine whether or not an action (such as building a natural gas facility) is a “major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.” An EIS was completed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and Wisconsin Public Service Commission in September 2019. The U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service (RUS) completed an EA of the Project in October 2020, a Supplemental EA in June 2022, and a Revised Supplemental EA in July 2023. The Final Supplemental Environmental Assessment was published in December 2023.
