Rapid City Journal: Air Force looking skyward for energy at EllsworthEllsworth Air Force Base is about to begin installing a solar panel array as it begins a transition to renewable energy to reduce its $5 million annual utility costs.
"We have an energy infrastructure plan that lists goals for each installation. Ours is a 25 percent energy reduction by 2025,” said Dell Petersen, 28th Civil Engineer Squadron Energy Manager. "We see this solar project as a prototype for projects like this in the future.”
The base has partnered with two Piedmont energy companies for the solar portion of a $7.2 million energy conservation package. GenPro Energy Solutions of Piedmont will provide the panels that will be installed by a Piedmont electrical contractor, Power Plus Electric. Read more...

Rapid City Journal: Hybrid wind-solar unit brings green power to BadlandsWALL – The hybrid wind-solar energy system at the Pinnacles Entrance of Badlands National Park is a sign of what Wolf Schwarz hopes will be many energy-efficient things to come. The hybrid will be flexible enough to provide power even under changeable environmental conditions.
"When the wind blows, the turbine is producing power. And when the sun is shining, the photovoltaic is producing power,” said Schwarz, facilities manager at the park. "It makes the system more reliable to have a hybrid system. Although we have sunny weather in summer, we have lulls at night. And we have wind at night that produces energy.”
The system is designed to do that, as well as pay for itself over time in energy savings to the park. Power generated beyond the needs of the Pinnacles complex will flow into the energy grid, reducing the park’s electric bill through West River Electric Association. Read more...
