Basin Electric Power Cooperative (Basin
Electric) has entered into an agreement with Western Area Power Administration
(Western) and Heartland Consumers Power District (Heartland) to jointly operate
their transmission systems on an integrated basis. The integrated transmission
facilities of the participants comprise the Integrated System (IS). The
Integrated System consists of transmission facilities owned by Western, Basin
Electric, and Heartland that are east of the East/West electrical separation in
the United States, the transmission facilities owned by Western that are
located west of the East/West electrical separation, and the Miles City
AC/DC/AC converter station (Miles City Tie) owned by Western and Basin
Electric.
Following passage of the Energy Policy Act,
Basin Electric, Western, and Heartland developed short-term transmission
contracts and rates to provide service over the Integrated System. Transmission
service over these facilities is available on the WAPA OASIS Home Page.
As a result of these arrangements, all
transmission requests of the Basin Electric Power Cooperative transmission
system included in the Integrated System should be directed to the Western Area
