(Bismarck, ND) -- The owner of the Rugby Wind farm is being fined 24-thousand dollars for missing a state deadline to install light-mitigating technology.
The state requires that wind farms use technology to keep the red lights on turbines from blinking all night and becoming a nuisance. The deadline to install the Aircraft Detection Lighting System was December 31st, 2021.
Rugby Wind was denied a delay in adopting the technology despite owners saying they were experiencing supply chain issues. The system was installed and working by the end of March.
