6 Nov 2008

Basin Electric Power Cooperative and FPL Energy have joined forces to build a wind farm in North Dakota, US. The latest project will mark an expansion of the Wilton Wind Energy Center.

Basin Electric is also in the process of developing an additional 300 MW of wind generation in North and South Dakota, the company said.

Ron Harper, CEO and general manager of Basin Electric, said, ‘Three years ago, at our annual meeting, our membership made it clear they wanted Basin Electric to be a leader in the development of renewable energy by setting one of the most aggressive renewable energy goals in the country.’

‘Unlike others who promise and forget, we are well on our way to fulfilling that promise,’ he added.
