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 Power Administration until further notice.
