Gas Delivery

Basin Electric, through its for-profit subsidiary, Dakota Gasification Company, owns and operates the Great Plains Synfuels Plant northwest of Beulah, North Dakota. 

Natural gas produced at the Great Plains Synfuels Plant  leaves the plant through a two-foot in diameter pipeline that transports the gas 34 miles to a gas portal on the Northern Border Pipeline. The Northern Border Pipeline interconnects with a network of pipelines at Ventura, IA, where it is distributed throughout the eastern half of the United States.
