Southern Power buys majority stake in 300 MW Deuel Harvest Wind Energy Center in South Dakota

Southern Power, a subsidiary of Southern Company, has announced the acquisition of the 300 megawatt (MW) Deuel Harvest Wind Farm from Invenergy.

Located in Deuel County, South Dakota, Deuel Harvest was developed by Invenergy and utilizes 109 wind turbines manufactured by GE Renewable Energy. The project achieved commercial operation on February 23, 2021.

The electricity and associated renewable energy credits (RECs) generated by the facility are being sold under two separate power purchase agreements—a 25-year agreement with Great River Energy, expected to commence January 2023, and a 15-year agreement with Xcel Energy, expected to commence in October 2021. Southern Power will be the majority owner. Invenergy will retain a minority ownership position, and Invenergy Services, a subsidiary of Invenergy that provides end-to-end energy solutions for asset owners, will operate and maintain the facility.
