Fenton Wind Project
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 with the capacity to produce clean renewable energy for more than 66,600 homes.
The project was developed by enXco Development Corp. and is owned by Fenton Power Partners, LLC and is operated and maintained by enXco Service Corporation. 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 of approximately 81 miles of underground collection cable delivered to the Xcel substation. The access roads alone if connected together would extend 30.3 miles.
