A $300 million wind energy project in the north central part of the state has been finished.

Iberdrola Renewables developed the wind farm north of Rugby, which includes 71 turbines and is capable of generating up to 149 megawatts of electricity. Construction first got started last year.

Iberdrola spokeswoman Jan Johnson says Missouri River Energy Services of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, has agreed to buy 40 megawatts of power from the project. The company is looking for other customers for the rest of the power.

Missouri River Energy supplies power to about 60 municipal electric systems in four states. In North Dakota it serves city utility operations in Cavalier, Hillsboro, Lakota, Northwood, Riverdale and Valley City.

Hydropower Plants to Support Solar and Wind Energy

LONDON - Hydropower plants can support solar and wind power, rather unpredictable by nature, in a climate-friendly manner. A new study in the scientific journal Nature Sustainability has now mapped the potential for such "solar-wind-water" strategies for West Africa: an important region where the power sector is still under development, and where generation capacity and power grids will be greatly expanded in the coming years. "Countries in West Africa therefore now have the opportunity to plan this expansion according to strategies that rely on modern, climate-friendly energy generation," says Sebastian Sterl, energy and climate scientist at Vrije Universiteit Brussel and…
