This project is under evaluation by the sponsors, but no permit applications have been submitted. According to the Sierra Club, project sponsors are rumored to be planning on submitting an air quality permit application in 2008.

In June, 2008, the Bismarck Tribune reported that Minnkota Power Cooperative would mothball plans for the plant until 2026. In the meantime, the company has agreed to an arrangement with FPL Energy under which Minnkota will receive 99 MW of peak output from FPL's wind farm in Cavalier County, ND.
