Freeborn County commissioners this week voted to table a decision for the second time about a proposed small community wind project in Hartland Township.

Called the Cedar River Wind Farm III, the project proposes to place a single 1.5-megawatt turbine on 280th Street, about two miles west of Minnesota Highway 13 between Manchester and Hartland.

The turbine would be owned by any people in the area who choose to invest money in the project or who have signed up for wind rights there. The profits, in turn, would go back to these investors, and the energy generated would feed into a nearby Freeborn-Mower Cooperative substation.

The issue will be put on the agenda for the commissioners’ Dec. 1 meeting.
