Otter Tail Power Company Plans New Electric Generation, Awaits MISO Decision

SUGAR LAND--February 20, 2018--Written by John Egan for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Like electric utilities around the U.S., Otter Tail Power Company (Fergus Falls, Minnesota) is working to shrink its carbon footprint by retiring coal-fired generation and replacing it with renewable energy and gas-fired generation. Utility regulators in Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota support the plans by the utility, a unit of Otter Tail Corporation (NASDAQ:OTTR) (Fergus Falls). Now, all are waiting for the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) (Carmel, Indiana) to render a decision on whether transmission will be needed to connect the utility's planned generation additions to the heartland's electric grid.
