On March 28, 2022, Northern filed its section 7 application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission requesting project approval in February 2023. However, the project approval was delayed until September 25, 2023. The Sierra Club requested rehearing of the commission’s approval, and the request was denied. In-service is now planned for November 1, 2024.
