 The role of the North
Dakota Public Service Commission
The North Dakota
Public Service Commission must issue three permits
before a transmission line can be constructed. For
more information about the state regulatory process,
view the project
fact sheet or visit the ND
PSC website.
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity
A
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN)
from the Commission is required prior to building
a high voltage transmission line. It determines that
public convenience and necessity call for the construction
of the proposed transmission line.
Certificate of Corridor Compatibility
A Certificate
of Corridor Compatibility establishes a corridor
through which the proposed transmission line may
be routed.
Route Permit
During Route Permit proceedings,
the Commission examines alternative routes for the
proposed transmission line within the designated
corridor.
