Transmission availability continues to be an important component limiting renewable energy growth in Montana. The Loco Falls Greenline is being developed to enhance the reliability, resiliency, and connectivity of Montana’s transmission system.
Loco Falls Greenline will run from the Loco Mountain Substation in Meagher County, Montana to Great Falls, Montana. It will connect two major wind resource areas, provide an alternative transmission route between southern and northern Montana, and increase transmission access into Canada from all regions of the state.
