Minnkota Power Cooperative and PRC Wind Announce New Wind Farm

Minnkota Power Cooperative and PRC Wind have announced plans to develop the 370-megawatt Flickertail Wind Farm near New Rockford, North Dakota, with construction set to begin in 2027. The project, originating from a collaboration between local community members and the New Rockford economic development board, will provide cost-effective, carbon-free energy through a long-term agreement with Minnkota to purchase the electricity produced. The wind farm will be located on 43,000 acres across Wells and Eddie Counties, creating 300 jobs during construction and contributing around $100 million to the local economy.
