Proposed North Dakota Wind Farm One of World's Largest. By Dale Wetzel, AP, October 23, 2008. "A proposed 2,000-megawatt wind farm in northwestern North Dakota would be one of the world's largest energy projects, although new electric transmission lines are needed for it to be built, state regulators say. 'The numbers that you see being thrown around as potential development in North Dakota are truly eye-popping,' Public Service Commissioner Tony Clark said Wednesday. Hartland Wind Farm [a Denali Energy project] is planning the $4 billion project in Ward, Burke and Mountrail counties in northwestern North Dakota. The company wants to start construction in the fall of 2010. It will be built in stages and ultimately should have 1,333 wind towers spread over 720 square miles, said Craig Fink, one of the project's developers. The Public Service Commission accepted a letter of intent for the project Wednesday."
