29 March 2007 -- Minnkota Power Cooperative Inc. and Otter Tail Power Co. today have agreed with FPL Energy to develop the Langdon Wind Project. This multipart wind project includes 25-year agreements with Minnkota to purchase 99 MW and with Otter Tail Power to purchase 19.5 MW of wind-generated electricity. Otter Tail Power Company also will own an additional 40.5 MW at the project site, bringing its total to 60 MW.

The Langdon Wind Project is sized for 159 MW at peak output. It will use 106 General Electric turbines, each having a nameplate capacity of 1.5 MW. FPL Energy will build and operate the 159 MW project and own 118.5 MW.

The two utilities, under Minnkota's lead, will upgrade 35 miles of existing 41.6-kilovolt transmission line to 115 kilovolts between Langdon and Hensel to deliver the wind-generated electricity into the high-voltage transmission network. The participants anticipate completing the wind farm and the associated transmission line late in December of 2007 or early 2008.
