South Dakota's largest solar farm to begin operation soon west of Rapid City
RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) – South of New Underwood, South Dakota, you’ll find rolling hills covered with thousands of solar panels. This complex is Wild Springs Solar, and once it officially begins operations, it will be the state’s largest solar farm. Built by National Grid Renewables and providing most of the electricity it generates to Basin Electric Power Cooperative, Wild Springs Solar will be able to double the amount of solar energy collected in South Dakota. This renewable energy will power homes & businesses all over the country, but particularly in the Rapid City area and the Black Hills.
”A lot of the electricity coming from that, from the solar project, will be distributed to our consumer owners in the area,” said Lindsey Chumley, Basin Electric’s communications supervisor.
With Rapid City’s population growing quickly, an additional source of energy could prove to be useful. Wild Springs Solar will surely be hoping for sunny days ahead.
