A 128-MW solar energy project that will serve customers of a regional electric power cooperative is under construction in South Dakota, with the facility expected to enter commercial operation later this year.
National Grid Renewables on Jan. 10 said work has begun on the company’s Wild Springs Solar Project in Pennington County. The array will be the largest built in the state to date. Wild Springs, located in an area in the Southwest Power Pool, already has a 114-MW power purchase agreement with Basin Electric Power Cooperative.
