Otter Tail owns part of a new wind farm south of Langdon in northeastern North Dakota. Otter Tail gets 40-and-one-half megawatts of the wind farm`s output. It`s capable of generating 159 megawatts of electricity.
Otter Tail asked for a special renewable energy charge to cover its North Dakota wind energy development expenses.
North Dakota`s Public Service Commission voted today to grant the charge. It will be listed separately on the bills of Otter Tail customers, starting in June.
Public Service Commissioner Tony Clark says the action will encourage Otter Tail to own wind power generation instead of buying wind power on the spot market. Clark says that`s a better deal for consumers.
Public Service Commissioner Kevin Cramer says the separate listing on electric bills will give customers information about renewable energy costs.
Otter Tail has about 57,000 North Dakota electric customers. It serves the cities of Wahpeton, Devils Lake and Jamestown.
Along with the Langdon wind farm, Otter Tail also wants to own 48 megawatts of electricity from a Barnes County wind farm. It hasn`t been built yet.
