Minnesota Approves Large Wind Power Project
Adding to a steadily growing influx of renewable energy in Minnesota is the Bison 2 wind farm. The Bison 2 will generate 105 megawatts of power and reduce carbon emissions by 90,000 tons a year. That’s impressive considering that this is one of many recent alternative energy projects in the state.
Bison 2 will generate 105 megawatts of power and will consist of 35 Siemens direct-drive wind turbines.
“This project demonstrates that renewable energy can be a low-cost generation option that will benefit all of our customers,” said Al Hodnik, chairman and CEO of Minnesota Power’s parent, Allete. “At the same time, it’s a logical next step that advances Allete’s growth strategy to meet the demands of an evolving energy industry.”
