(Wishek, ND) -- A new wind farm is being proposed in south-central North Dakota.

The state Public Service Commission will be holding a hearing in late June to discuss the Badger Wind project planned near Wishek. The project is being developed by Orsted Onshore North America.

The wind farm would include over 70 turbines for a capacity of 250 megawatts, the equivalent of powering 70-thousand homes.
