Otter Tail to build new N.D. wind farm

Otter Tail Power Company, a division of Otter Tail Corporation, has announced it will build a wind farm near Lake Ashtabula in N.D. Construction will commence in late May on the 49.5 megawatt wind farm and related infrastructure. The company anticipates that the project will be operational late in 2009. The wind farm will be north of the existing 200-megawatt Ashtabula Wind Energy Center, which was constructed in 2008.

Otter Tail Power Company, in relation to size, has one of the highest levels of investment in ownership of wind generation facilities of utilities nationwide. Proof that they work hard to find cost-effective, renewable energy for customers.
