Opps...don't want to mess up the color scheme. I said blue for water (which is reserved for high-probability towns) so scratch that :(
We need a color or special marker for power, sewer and water utility projects ???
The Power companies are spending hundreds of millions $$ to increase power capacity in the region.
Can't have housing developments without power ;)

Business is booming
The oil play in the Bakken formation covers parts of western North Dakota and eastern Montana. Crude oil production in the North Dakota has quadrupled since 2007. As a result of the drilling and production activity, electrical loads are growing rapidly. Basin Electric member cooperatives serve much of that load. For a fact sheet on how Basin Electric and its members are serving the Bakken, click here: Serving the Bakken. In May 2012 North Dakota became the second leading oil-producing state in the nation, trailing only Texas.
