A wind farm with 66 turbines is being planned near Groton under an agreement between Basin Electric Power Cooperative and a private company.

Basin Electric and NextEra Energy are partners in three other wind farms in North Dakota and one in South Dakota. North Dakota-based Basin Electric generates and transmits electricity to member rural electric systems in the Dakotas and other states.
