DeutschFenton Wind Farm
The Fenton Wind Farm is a 205.5 megawatt[1] wind energy project built by enXco (now EDF Renewables[2]), that became operational in the second half of 2007. The $385-million project is near Chandler, Minnesota, United States, on a site that encompasses Murray and Nobles counties and consists of 137 GE 1.5 MW wind turbines.[3]
Power generated by the Fenton Wind Energy project will be sold to Northern States Power, a subsidiary of Minneapolis-based Xcel Energy.[3]
The land was and is subject to archeological surveys as it is situated in a culturally sensitive area previously inhabited by the Dakota.[1]
