Allete Clean Energy to sell repowered wind site to Xcel Energy

Allete Clean Energy will repower and expand the Northern Wind site, consisting of the Chanarambie and Viking wind projects in southwest Minnesota, USA, by replacing the existing turbines with new, more efficient equipment.

 

When repowered in 2022, the project, totalling 120MW of capacity, will be sold to Xcel Energy. The sale and redevelopment of the wind sites is pending regulatory approval. Xcel Energy plans to file the request to repower and purchase the project in mid-February.
