Minnesota
Minnesotas electric network is tied to neighboring states. If Wisconsin has a problem, Minnesota has a problem. Minnesota Power customers have been knocked off line by electric system disturbances related to the weak MinnesotaWisconsin connection.

Summary
Operating experience has shown there is a significant risk to electrical reliability in the upper Midwest and Wisconsin
Engineering study commissioned through Assembly Act 204 WRAO recommendation Arrowhead Weston 345 kV Line
Summary
The Arrowhead-Weston Project will substantially alleviate the reliability problems being experienced due to the weak electrical tie between the upper Midwest and Wisconsin.
It will also provide import capability for Wisconsin to meet its emergency power supply requirements.
