SPP asset profile · https://askthegrid.com/assets/facilities/prairie-winds-sd1

Basin Electric Power Cooperative - Jerauld County - SPP

Prairie Winds SD1 is the EIA plant identity for the Crow Lake-area wind facilities near White Lake, South Dakota. EIA reports 162 MW across 108 turbine generators and identifies Basin Electric as operator. Basin's 2025 annual report lists Crow Lake with 107 turbines and 172 MW of winter net capacity, while South Dakota public records separately describe the 101-turbine PrairieWinds SD1 project, the adjacent seven-turbine South Dakota Wind Partners project, and one training turbine owned by Mitchell Technical College. Because those public scopes do not reconcile cleanly, this page does not assign Basin a plant-wide ownership percentage or claim ownership of the seven partner turbines.
