| MRES chooses wind energy
We also are committed to installing wind power that is clean and renewable.
MRES owns the output of four wind turbines at Worthington, Minn., which can produce up to 3.7 megawatts of power. By early 2008, a collection of 19 wind turbines constructed near the Minnesota communities of Marshall and Odin has the potential to produce up to 38.7 megawatts of wind-generated electricity for MRES members. That's enough electricity to power more than 12,500 homes.
The two wind projects are the latest addition to the growing renewable energy portfolio of MRES and its members.
Construction of the Marshall wind farm, which is located in Lyon County, began July 23, 2007, and will have a capacity of 18.7 megawatts. The Odin project will add 10 wind turbines with a capacity of 20 megawatts of wind generation.
