Minnesota Power plans to increase the capacity of of its Bison Wind Farm by 105 megawatts. The wind farm is being constructed in two stages, Bison 1 and Bison 2.
The wind farm capacity will be approximately 185 megawatts with this increase.
The wind farm is on the border of Morton and Oliver counties.
Bison 1 is a 31-turbine project. The first 16 turbines were 2.3 megawatt; the last 15 turbines will be 3-megawatt turbines and will be up by the end of the year.
Bison 2 will be a 35-wind turbine project, all 3-megawatt turbines.
A spokesman said that the 3-megawatt turbines will mean twice the capacity in half the footprint.
