Update On Wind Farm Projects In Western North Dakota -- October 3, 2016

On my trip back to North Dakota last weekend, I saw wind turbines being transported south to Hebron, North Dakota, and saw towers being raised at the Lindahl Wind Project north of Tioga.

Towers, nacelles, and blades are all being staged out of Red River Oilfield Services east of Williston.

For the Tioga project, the components are being brought from Red River (Williston) to the Pinnacle Truck Stop south of Tioga, staged there, until the cranes are ready for them.

Data points, quickly and briefly.
