Willmar Municipal Utilities' two wind turbines after being plagued throughout 2023 with issues that impeded the generation of power have had two successful months in a row.
The Willmar Municipal Utilities Commission is being prepared for tough conversations regarding the continued use of the wind turbines. A $6 million wind turbine now is standing still while awaiting a $95 part.
The two wind turbines owned by Willmar Municipal Utilities continue to have maintenance and repair issues that keep them from generating the amount of power that is expected. If things don't improve, their use may be discontinued after this year.
