South Dakota's wind energy potential is being capitalized by a new wind farm that's springing up in McPherson County.

Sixty turbines are being erected north of Long lake in north-central South Dakota.

Another 60 are going up just across the border in Dickey County, North Dakota.  The Tatanka wind farm is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

The electricity will be fed into the Montana-Dakota Utilities system.

The project is slated to produce about 90 megawatts in South Dakota and 90 in North Dakota. One megawatt will supply more than 400 homes.
