Bakken Midstream Mulling Ethane-Natural Gas Power Plant
Bakken Midstream Natural Gas LLC is considering developing a dual-fuel electric cooperative power plant in North Dakota that would primarily operate on ethane, with natural gas also in the fuel mix.
Bakken Midstream is proposing to build the Williston Basin Energy Center for Mountrail-Williams Electric Cooperative near Williston, ND, in the heart of the Bakken Shale. The project, subject to final operational and power purchase agreements, could be the largest plant to principally use ethane, according to Bakken Midstream.
Privately held Bakken Midstream last October obtained nearly $25 million to boost the North Dakota natural gas sector and use ethane in power plants. The size of the proposed plant and the timeline were undisclosed, with the company indicated it would be a large-scale baseload facility.
