Previously untouched by wind turbine farms, McLean County is expected to soon host the largest wind energy project in the state.
Great River Energy, the Minnesota-based owner of Coal Creek Stat ion, announced Tuesday its intent to establish a partnership for a 400 megawatt wind project to be located in the vicinity of the Underwood-area coal plant.
“Great River Energy has reached an agreement in principle with Apex Clean Energy to receive renewable energy from a 400-megawatt
(MW) wind energy project in McLean County, North Dakota,” GRE said in a press release.
