JETx Power Line Gets Approval

North Dakota regulators have approved the controversial JETx power line, a 92-mile, 150-foot-tall transmission project spanning Dickey, LaMoure, and Stutsman counties, designed to strengthen the regional grid. After months of review, including 20+ hours of testimony and 6,600 pages of documents, the Public Service Commission ruled the $406 million project meets legal standards. Landowners raised concerns over proximity, eminent domain, and potential future uses like data centers—but the commission clarified those issues fall outside its jurisdiction and must be addressed by the state Legislature. While some mitigation measures like dust control and road repairs were incorporated, legal challenges remain pending before the North Dakota Supreme Court.
