What is the purpose of the proposed transmission project?
TransCanada has announced plans to build a crude oil pipeline through central Nebraska which includes the construction of five pumping stations to move crude oil. The purpose of NPPD’s 115,000-volt Transmission Line Project for TransCanada Keystone XL Pipeline is to provide electric energy to local electric utilities allowing them to serve three of the five pumping stations. The other two pumping stations are outside the scope of this project.
