Largest solar farm in South Dakota comes online
Pennington County solar farm owned by National Grid Renewables begins operations
The title of “largest solar farm in South Dakota” officially belongs to a plant east of Rapid City.
National Grid Renewables, a Minneapolis-based company, announced that its 128 megawatt (MW) solar project in eastern Pennington County had become operational in late June, marking the end of a little over a year of construction.
“It’s exciting to add Wild Springs to the New Underwood Community. Since the groundbreaking of the Wild Springs Solar Project, National Grid Renewables has been a great neighbor,” said Jack Trullinger, mayor of nearby New Underwood.
