The total project comprises
of twelve wind farms located on twelve sites in southwestern Minnesota.
The projects were conceived
as a means of allowing local farmers and businesses to benefit from
southwestern Minnesota's considerable wind resources through actual
ownership of facilities.
The project was developed
by DanMar & Associates, Inc., a Minnesota-based development company.
The Wind Turbines were
supplied by Suzlon Wind Energy Corp.
The power produced is sold
to Northern States Power Company, a subsidiary of Xcel Energy, Inc. and
to Great River Energy.
The Minnesota Small Producer Incentive (MSPI) provides cash payments
per kWh produced by its facility for ten years to the projects. Each
project is owned by a local farmer or small businessman and qualifies
for MSPI. |
