Iberdrola Renewables has announced that construction is underway on a 50MW wind farm, the Buffalo Ridge Wind Power Project near White, South Dakota.
The project, expected to be complete in 2009 contingent upon passage of the production tax credit, will export enough energy for approximately 15,000 homes each year.
The power generated from this South Dakota wind farm will be purchased by Northern Indiana Public Service Company, serving more than 445,000 electric customers across the northern third of Indiana.
The Buffalo Ridge Wind Power Project will include 50 Suzlon turbines. As with the MinnDakota wind project, Iberdrola Renewables will build and operate the new wind farm.
Tim Seck, director of development for Iberdrola Renewables, said: With our successful MinnDakota Wind Power Project also operating in Brookings County, Iberdrola Renewables is delighted to once again bring jobs and additional property taxes to the community.
