NODAK ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE WILL BE ACTIVE IN THE UPCOMING LEGISLATIVE SESSION
As North Dakota prepares for its upcoming legislative session, the state’s political landscape remains firmly in Republican control, with supermajorities retained in both chambers. Your electric cooperative is dedicated to advocating on behalf of its members to ensure that reliable and affordable electricity remains a cornerstone of our state’s energy landscape.

Among the key issues expected to take center stage during the session are property tax reform, permitting reform, wildfire mitigation and the state’s potential role in advancing carbon capture projects. Each of these priorities has implications for our members and the broader energy community.

ENSURING COOPERATIVES ARE  INCLUDED IN PROPERTY TAX REFORM
Affordable energy and affordable living go hand in hand. Property tax reform is a critical issue for our members, and it requires thoughtful solutions. Our goal is to ensure any changes are fairly and equitably implemented for all utility providers.

STREAMLINING PERMITTING PROCESSES
As an energy state, North Dakota must ensure that infrastructure can be safely and economically built.  By ensuring consistency in permitting processes, North Dakota can continue to grow its economy while respecting landowner rights.

ADVANCING CARBON CAPTURE PROJECTS
North Dakota has positioned itself to be a leader in carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. This innovative approach is crucial for reducing emissions while preserving the role of fossil fuels in our energy mix. By advocating for the state to continue its role in supporting and funding CCS projects, your cooperative is helping ensure both reliability and environmental goals are met.
