North Dakota Coop Plans Large Increase in Wind Power

Basin Electric Power Cooperative says that it will double the power it derives from wind energy by 2016.  Basin is expecting its load to grow by more than 1,883 megawatts by 2035. Currently, the coop has 712.7 megawatts of wind generation. Basin plans to purchase power from other generators to increase that number to 1,400 megawatts of wind generation over the next two years. The Bismarck Tribune has the full story here.
