#AmericanWindWeek may be over but we can't stop talking about our Wessington Springs Wind Energy Center. #ICYMI - the 51MW #wind farm underwent a repower in December of 2019: http://ow.ly/fvVz50B3JS2  #greenpower #publicpower THREAD

The WSW Energy Center is 15% MORE EFFICIENT after undergoing the repower. Cool, you say, but what does that actually mean?

The repower included an upgrade to newer, more efficient turbine technology, including 91-meter blades. Longer blades = increased wind capture at lower speeds = improved efficiency and performance.

Ultimately, the repower made an already outstanding #renewable resource more so. Our #wind farm is capable of generating enough electricity to power more than 12,700 homes.

Our #wind farm checks all the boxes: lower wind rates for Heartland wholesale rate stability for our customers no air/water pollution surrounding land remains agricultural

Oh, and did we mention it meets statewide #renewable energy goals in Minnesota AND South Dakota? The Wessington Springs Wind Energy Center fulfills our commitment to reliable, clean power. #greenpower #wind #publicpower
