The dispute began more than 10 years ago when the Missouri Basin Power Project, which owns the plant, and the coal supplier filed a complaint with the federal Surface Transportation Board, saying the railroad was gouging them on coal deliveries to the Laramie River Station. In 2009 the board awarded the project members $345 million in rate relief. BNSF appealed, and the dispute has since been argued before the board and in federal courts.

The plant produces power for about 2 million consumers in Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming.
