WIND In 2010, as part of The Minnesota Municipal Power Agency’s (MMPA) Hometown Windpower program, a wind turbine was installed at the Shakopee Public Utilities facility on Sarazin Street. The 0.16 megawatt (MW) wind turbine helps to provide local, clean, and sustainable energy to the community. Additionally, the MMPA has expanded its portfolio of renewable resources to include power from the 78 MW Black Oak Getty Wind Farm located in Stearns County and the 44 MW of wind energy from the Oak Glen Wind Farm in Blooming Prairie. The SMSC community has also invested in renewable energy with the 2009 construction of the 262-foot, 1.5 MW wind turbine located at the SMSC Wacipi (Pow Wow) Grounds in south Shakopee. CLEAN BURNING FOSSIL FUEL Shakopee Energy Park (SEP), a recently completed commercial operation is producing electricity from clean-burning natural gas. The 46 MW facility located ear Canterbury Park uses fuel-efficient reciprocating engines to generate local, reliable power for Shakopee as well as contributing to the overall power supply for all MMPA member communities.
