The Day County Wind Energy Center is the latest example of NextEra Energy Resources ongoing commitment to expanding renewable energy projects in South Dakota and across the United States.
Few industries have the potential to invest as much capital in South Dakota in the next few years as wind energy.
When fully operational, these projects will push South Dakota's total wind energy production capacity to more than 787 MW.
Wind turbines aren't as numerous as cattle in South Dakota pastures, but they're becoming increasingly common as the state's wind power output increases year by year.
NextEra Energy Resources LLC (Juno Beach, Florida), a subsidiary of FPL Group Incorporated (NYSE:FPL), has begun construction on the $250 million, 99-megawatt Day County Wind farm near Andover, South Dakota.
Xcel Energy announced the completion of the Buffalo Ridge Incremental Generation Outlet (BRIGO) Transmission Projects, designed to increase the system’s ability to carry wind power to Minnesota and South Dakota.
