MISO-R1001, listed in the queue as "Hoot Lake 2 & 3," is a proposed 49.9 MW solar development project in Otter Tail County, Minnesota. The project would replace Hoot Lake units 2 and 3, which have a combined capacity of 144.8 MW, with photovoltaic panels and seventeen Sungrow 3 MW solar inverters. Although it is classified as a hybrid project, with technology types listed as solar and "other," its only specified component is 49.9 MW of solar capacity. The associated utility is Otter Tail Power Company.
The project entered the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) interconnection queue on May 15, 2020, and remains active. It has requested Network Resource Interconnection Service (NRIS) at the Hoot Lake 115 kV point of interconnection. Its proposed commercial operation date was April 15, 2022. The provided data does not include an interconnection agreement status. The project has been linked, with a match confidence of 0.92, to an existing operating plant in U.S. Energy Information Administration records, Hoot Lake Solar (EIA plant ID 65066).
