The site plan for a 150-watt wind power project in North Dakota that includes the construction of 100 wind turbines in the counties of Dickey and McIntosh has been approved by the state's Public Service Commission.
The Associated Press reports that the project, which is expected to cost a total of $400 million, has been approved in the midst of a legal feud between its developer and another company.
According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, a major issue with the project has been resolved, after the developer, EnXco, was able to reach an agreement with federal wildlife authorities in order to protect endangered bird species such as the Piping Plover and Whooping Crane.
Now, the company is reportedly seeking a buyer for the project after its originally intended purchaser dropped out in April, according to the news provider.
Wind turbines are popping up all over the country as many states look to increase their use of sustainable energy sources. One such project, the Cedar Point Wind Farm in Colorado, is currently under construction and is expected to feature 139 turbines, according to the Denver Business Journal.
