SOO Green is an economic engine for the upper Midwest.
The SOO Green HVDC link represents a historic $4 billion infrastructure investment that will bolster the energy grid and save billions for ratepayers. SOO Green will unlock over $20 billion in social benefits and represents an estimated job growth stimulation of 60,000.
SOO Green is also expected to reduce 1 million CO2 emissions throughout the region, which is a $9.7 billion dollar savings in public health costs.
The project will also generate revenue for local jurisdictions throughout its 50-year expected service life, supporting public services such as roads, emergency services, and schools.
