Black Hills energizes first phase of Ready Wyoming transmission project

Black Hills (BKH) announced that its Wyoming electric utility has successfully placed in service the initial 12-mile segment and supporting substations of its Ready Wyoming transmission expansion project near Cheyenne, Wyoming. The approximately 260-mile transmission project will support current and growing energy needs of the company’s Wyoming customers, including data centers, while reducing dependence on third-party transmission systems. Once fully operational, Black Hills’ Wyoming electric system will be interconnected with its South Dakota electric system. This interconnection is expected to provide customers with long-term price stability while enhancing the resiliency of the electric system and expanding access to power markets and renewable energy resources.
