Dairyland Power Cooperative will begin purchasing 80MW of renewable energy from the Barton Wind Farm (160MW), effective February 15. Dairyland has reached a power purchase agreement with Avangrid Renewables which owns and operates the Barton Wind Farm.
It is located in north-central Iowa and has been in service since 2009. This agreement is a result of Dairyland’s participation in National Renewable Cooperative Organization (NRCO). Dairyland is a founding member of NRCO, an organization of cooperatives seeking to promote the development of renewable energy resources.
