Tatanka Wind Project

Global Winds Harvest began developing the Tatanka Wind Farm in 2003. In 2005 we partnered with Acciona and three years later the $381 million project was online and delivering enough clean energy to power over 60,000 homes.

The 180 megawatt Tatanka Wind Farm is comprised of 120 wind turbines, with 59 turbines located in South Dakota and 61 turbines in North Dakota. The electricity generated by Tatanka is sold into the Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator, which delivers electric power to a very large region of the upper mid-western United States and Canada. Spread across 14,080 acres of land, Tatanka employs over twenty full time positions and provides revenues to nearby North and South Dakota communities through investments in local infrastructure, lease arrangements with local landowners, and tax revenues paid to Dickey County, North Dakota and McPherson County, South Dakota.
