The South Dakota Public Utilities Commission held a three-day evidentiary hearing last week on the Prevailing Winds Project. That is proposed to be built in Bon Homme, Charles Mix and Hutchinson Counties.
PUC Staff Attorney Kristin Edwards says it’s a chance to lay out more details and impacts of the project…
Edwards says the hearings are conducted much like a trial…..
The project would include up to one hundred wind turbines, spread across about forty-seven thousand acres in the three counties.
Edwards says they will next file briefs, and then appear before the full commission…
A final decision is expected on November 30th.
