Prairie Star Wind Farm will produce 352,000MWh of clean energy which is enough to power approximately 33,000 Minnesota homes. Construction of the 61 1.65MW wind turbines started in spring 2007 and the project came online in December 2007.
Prairie Star Wind Farm will prevent the annual emission of approximately 290,000 tons of carbon dioxide, nearly 700 tons of nitrogen oxide, and nearly 900 tons of sulfur dioxide. This is the equivalent of taking nearly 60,000 cars of the road.
With the Prairie Star Wind Farm output, Great River Energy’s renewable portfolio now includes 213MW of wind resources as well as a number of renewable biomass resources.
