The wind farm, located near Albert Lea in Freeborn County, consists of 122 turbines and is expected to generate enough electricity for approximately 50,000 homes.
The company’s 68MW Cedar Ridge wind farm in Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin, has been in operation since December 2008, and Bent Tree is its second owned and operated wind farm.
WPL president John Larsen said that the addition of Bent Tree wind farm allows the company to meet and exceed Wisconsin’s existing Renewable Portfolio Standard.
