Tours

Bob Fagerstrom (right), plant manager of the Synfuels Plant, explains the gasification process to US Sen. Byron Dorgan (ND) (left) and Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar.

Book a tour at one of Basin Electric’s North Dakota electric generation power plants or the Great Plains Synfuels Plant. Discover that clean power begins at Antelope Valley Station’s turbine bay (video). Your tour guide will tell you that our power plants are among the cleanest coal-based facilities in the nation. 

If you’re in Wyoming, make a point to tour the Laramie River Station, near Wheatland. For the past 20 years, LRS has ranked as one of America’s cleanest and most efficient coal-based power plants.

Don’t forget to stop at Headquarters in Bismarck, ND. Visit our Security/Response Center where they dispatch line crews and provide a call-in service for 58 distribution cooperatives. Get to know some of the managers, engineers, accountants, communicators and technicians – they’re working for our members.
