Wind Farm Near Wilton


A windfarm near Wilton could double next year Renewable energy has been a big point of emphasis in recent years In North Dakota Wind Farms have been popping up all over the state Now a proposal would double the size of the wind farm near Wilton But the issues are more complicated than determining where to put the towers Brad Feldman reports Cutting through the air Turbines are sending electricity down the line These sixty-six wind turbines sit in Ecklund Township a county that has control of it s planning and zoning A proposal for sixty-six more turbines would add more to the townships grid but some turbines would flow over into another township thirty-three turbines are planned for Crofte township a township that gave up it s planning and zoning control years ago Gary Small Crofte Township Board Member Right to govern housing and everything they turned that over to Burleigh County authority so we don t need to make no rules We go by Burleigh County Rules Gary Small is a Crofte Township Board Member He says in hindsight it probably would have been better to keep the issues in the townships control Gary Small Crofte Township Board Member You have no say on anything all we are is a gravel crew We gravel roads and maintain the roads and that is all we do Small and the rest of the Crofte Township board wait for Burleigh County Planning officials to write an ordiance Up to now Burleigh County has no regulations on commercial sized wind farms Greg Greenquist in the Community Development office says they have been gathering ordinances from other communities Greg Greenquist Bismarck Community Development We dont have to reinvent the wheel here but we are looking really closely at compatability issues with turbines and households Greenquist says two of the main issues they will have to consider is noise and appearance The same two issues that seem to strike a cord with residents in the area Gary Small Crofte Township Board Member I am not against it I am really not against the towers You are not going to stop them You want to go green we are going to go green Near Baldwin Brad Feldman KX News A public input meeting on the proposed wind farm has been scheduled for next Thursday December tenth from seven to nine in the evening at the Baldwin School

one major obstacle for years how to get the energy to where it s needed That s especially true for electricity development as power grids are already at capacity through out the country Now the announcement of a new energy interstate originating in North Dakota to send power to the east is giving a big boost to major wind project in the north central part of the state In early 2008 Denali Energy announced plans for a sprawling andamp lt a href andamp quot http www kxnet com t wind-farmandamp quot class andamp quot kxInlineLinkandamp quot andamp gt wind farmandamp lt aandamp gt in North

kxInlineLinkandamp quot andamp gt Minotandamp lt aandamp gt and would encompass parts of Ward Mountrail and Burke Counties The expected output from Hartland Wind Farm would double the total wind output of all of North Dakota However there was one major obstacle that was sucking the wind out of the sails of the project How could Denali Energy get the power from the wind turbines to the places that need it the most Curt Johnson CEO-Principal Denali Energy andamp quot Our national grid is hamstrung We don t have the capacity to move power from one region to the next because of the nature of the way it is andamp quot Now one company is looking to change that ITC Holdings Corporation a company that invests solely in transmission networks announced plans to build the Green Power Express A brand new transmission network stretching from North Dakota to Illinois and points east Joseph Dudak ITC Holdings V P Major Contracts andamp amp amp Special Projects andamp quot It s a 3 000 miles

project of its kind andamp quot The Green power Express would provide the highest transmission voltage lines to ship North Dakota s wind power cash crop to sell in other power markets in the east The
