Northern filed its section 7 application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) February 16, 2024, requesting project approval. FERC assigned Docket No. CP24-60-000 to the section 7 application. Northern is anticipating approval for the project, subject to Commission review, will occur in December 2024. The facilities are scheduled to be placed into service November 1, 2025.
