BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Member cooperatives of a Minnesota electric company endorsed a deal Friday to sell a financially troubled coal-fueled power plant in North Dakota to a Bismarck firm.
Great River Energy said its 28 member cooperatives at a special meeting approved the sale of the Coal Creek Station and an associated transmission line that runs from the plant’s location in central North Dakota to Minnesota.
Terms of the deal have not been publicly disclosed. The company said the deal is expected to be finalized later this year.
