Rural power needs urged by Minnesota governor at Missouri Basin
Minnesota Governor Orville Freeman told the Missouri Basin Inter-Agency Commission that rural electric groups and REA cooperatives should receive greater consideration in Missouri River operations. He noted Minnesota REAs and municipal plants now save about 4.3 million dollars annually compared with other power sources, and that their current 50 percent allocation limits larger savings. Freeman argued reallocating the Bureau of Reclamation power could nearly double savings as electricity use grows, with main-stem dam operations potentially prioritizing power to meet demand.
