Through Archaeology
Power generated by the Fenton Wind Energy project will be sold to Northern States Power, a subsidiary of Minneapolis-based Xcel Energy.
The land was and is subject to archeological surveys as it is situated in a culturally sensitive area previously inhabited by the Dakota.
Project history
The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission issued a permit for the Fenton Wind Farm in April 2006.
In January 2007, the project developer secured financing.
Construction began in September 2007 and the project was completed in October 2007.
