Up and almost running: Brule County wind project nearly complete

Originally facing no formal opposition, a nine-turbine wind farm in Brule County is nearing completion after about four months of construction.

The project is south of Interstate 90, near Kimball, and is being developed by Con Edison, a New York company that calls itself one of America’s largest owners and operators of renewable energy projects. A portion of the farm is on the land of Don Reinesch, a Brule County commissioner. The plan was proposed in December 2015 and approved in January 2016.
