South Dakota Wind Energy Resources

You can help bring wind energy to South Dakota and your community!

South Dakota has an amazing wind resource. In fact, South Dakota has the potential to produce more than one trillion kWh of electricity every year--that's enough to power almost a quarter of the entire country!

Resources for Schools

There are many resources to help schools interested in learning more about how they can participate in wind energy.

While every situation is different, one of the best things a school interested in wind can do is learn about what other schools have done, especially schools in their area. You can find pre-sorted search of school wind project case studies from our larger project database here.

You can find a pre-sorted list of resources specifically for schools (from our larger resource database) by clicking here, but keep in mind that school wind projects are simply community wind projects so our collection of resources for community wind projects will be helpful as well.
