REGIONAL PLANNING

The Common Use System (CUS) is comprised of several 230 kV and 69 kV transmission facilities owned by Black Hills Energy-SD, Basin Electric Power Cooperative and Powder River Energy Corporation. The Common Use System is located in northeast Wyoming, western South Dakota, southeast Montana and western Nebraska. These facilities provide transmission service pursuant to a Joint Open Access Transmission Tariff (JOATT) to meet the requirements initially outlined in FERC Order 890. The WY/SD Common Use Subcommittee is a forum within CCPG used to perform coordinated transmission planning and engineering studies and provide a direct interface with the stakeholder community.
