The TWN Wind Power company has completed two wind projects at White Earth Nation, located in Northwestern Minnesota. The two sites, Ojibwa Building Supplies in Waubun and White Earth Community Service Center in Naytahwaush, are now benefiting from wind energy.
“White Earth Nation is thrilled to have our two new wind turbines fully commissioned and adding to our clean energy efforts. We continue to strive to be stewards of the earth and White Earth is proud to have completed this project in partnership with TWN Wind Power, a Tsleil-Waututh Nation company,” said Erma J. Vizenor, White Earth Nation Chairwoman.
Each site consists of an Endurance Wind Power 3120 small wind turbine, sitting atop a 140 foot tower. Although there are hundreds of installations of 3120-series wind turbines in North America and the UK, these are the first installations at a tribal community in the United States.
“Nation-to-Nation business success in Indian Country is what we are striving for, all the while helping communities achieve their energy goals”, said Marc Soulliere, President & CEO of TWN Wind Power. “It has been a wonderful journey and an honor working with White Earth Nation.”
