Largest solar farm in South Dakota comes online – The Dakota Scout

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.
