Basin Electric employee returns from mission to Djibouti, Kosovo
Around Basin Electric, he’s known as the building superintendent. But Dan Job has another title. In the North Dakota National Guard, he’s Command Sergeant Major Dan Job. During the last week, Dan flew with Major General David Sprynczynatyk to Djibouti, Africa, and Kosovo, to check in with two North Dakota National Guard units. The mission was kept secret until their return. While he was overseas, Dan visited with three Basin Electric employees who are serving. Kelsy Hovey, Basin Electric pilot, is serving in Djibouti. Basin Electric business analyst Kim Miller and Dakota Gasification Company warehouse supervisor Jill Thomas are serving in Kosovo.

Construction coordinator view of PrairieWinds 1
Jesse Johnson, BEPCIt’s a pretty good haul to the top of a wind turbine. Just ask Jesse Johnson, construction coordinator on the PrairieWinds ND 1-owned project south of Minot, ND. Johnson says it takes about 20 minutes to safely climb the ladder to the top of the 262-foot towers.

Half the turbines on ND PrairieWinds projects complete
Today, the PrairieWinds 1 and Minot Wind 2 joint projects are 50% complete, structurally. PrairieWinds 1 consists of 77 turbines; Minot Wind 2 consists of 3 turbines. As of today, 40 turbines have the rotors set on top, as seen in the photo below. There are four main erections crews working in around-the-clock shifts on these projects. Construction started in August, and is on schedule to be complete by late this year or early 2010. Check out our YouTube playlist on wind for video:
