Another wind farm is planned in Brookings County.

The developer is Iberdrola Renewables, which bills itself as the world's largest provider of wind power.  The Buffalo Ridge Wind Power Project near White would have 50 turbines and produce enough power for 15,000 homes. The electricity will be purchased by Northern Indiana Public Service Company. 

Iberdrola also operates the 100-turbine MinnDakota Wind Farm that's located in part of Brookings County and adjoining Lincoln County in Minnesota.  MinnDakota was built by PPM Energy before PPM's parent company was purchased by Iberdrola.
