Notice
Summary
WBI Energy Transmission is asking for more time—until September 30, 2026—to finish building and start using their Elk Basin-Billings pipeline project in Montana. They've made great progress but ran into weather and supply problems slowing them down. This extension means the project will take longer but helps ensure everything gets done right without extra costs right now.
