BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR) – When the weather gets hot like this, power grids can get overloaded.

To solve that problem, Montana Dakota Utilities added to its power-producing portfolio. The natural gas-fired Heskett four plant went online last week to provide extra power during extreme heat and freezing weather.

”Typically these peaking units are called upon by our MISO market to run when the temperatures typically are either extremely hot or extremely cold,” said MDU’s Director of Operations, Joe Geiger.

The new Heskett plant can produce and provide power within 30 minutes. Customers would not be charged for peak services.
