Fenton

Minnesota's premiere wind resource -- Buffalo Ridge -- is now home to the Fenton Wind Project. Spanning a stretch of farm fields seven miles long and seven miles wide, in southwestern Minnesota, Fenton is the largest wind farm in the state. The project consists of 137 GE 1.5 megawatt wind turbines, and has the capacity to produce clean renewable energy for more than 66,600 homes.

The project was developed by EDF Renewable Energy.  The project is owned by Fenton Power Partners, LLC and is operated and maintained by EDF Renewable Services. Under a 20- year power purchase agreement, generated electricity from the Fenton Wind Farm will be sold to Xcel Energy.

The Fenton Project has the largest interconnection consisting of approximately 81 miles of underground collection cable delivered to the Xcel substation.
