Lake Region Electric Cooperative (LREC) and Great River Energy propose to convert and operate LREC’s Lake Eunice Substation and about a 0.8-mile portion of Great River Energy’s 41.6-kV LR-LET transmission line to 115-kV standards. These facilities are located in Lake Eunice Township, Becker County, Minn. These upgrades will move the Lake Eunice Substation from a radial to a loop feed and improve the reliability of transmission service to the Lake Eunice Substation.
