The proposed project "Replacing 55 MW with 29 MW Natural Gas/Fuel Oil; Blue Lake Unit 3," identified in the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) interconnection queue as MISO-R1051, is a gas-fired development project located in Scott County, Minnesota. The queue lists the project as a hybrid, with technology categories of gas and other. Its single listed component is 55 MW of gas generation, and the project's total capacity is recorded as 55 MW. As the project name indicates, the proposal involves replacing 55 MW of capacity at Blue Lake Unit 3 with 29 MW of natural gas/fuel oil generation. The developer is not identified in the available data.
The project entered the MISO queue on May 16, 2024, and holds an active status. It is proposed to interconnect at the Blue Lake 115 kV point of interconnection under Network Resource Interconnection Service (NRIS). The project has a proposed commercial operation date of April 1, 2025. The available data does not indicate the status of an interconnection agreement.
