National Grid Renewables has announced the start of onsite construction at its 100 MW Apple River Solar Project in Polk County, Wis. 

“As a company founded by a farmer in the Midwest, we have a strong commitment to bolstering rural economies through our renewable energy projects, and it’s exciting to see that growth in western Wisconsin,” says Joe Ibrahim, vice president of Construction at National Grid Renewables.

Construction of the project will be performed by The Boldt Company. Apple River will use First Solar Series 6 Plus bifacial modules.

Once operational, the project will supply power to Xcel Energy to serve its customers across the Upper Midwest.

Apple River is anticipated to begin operation next year.

  • Make friends and get along with others
  • Establish independence from the parents

Is it a coincidence that the countries with the best educated children are the happiest, sanest and most productive nations on the planet?

Today we had another “assassination attempt.”

Is it the fourth or the fifth?  I lost track after his ear grew back.

Eventually, after perhaps 20 or 30, even the most dimwitted American will recognize that he’s been played.

Trump is a man of God like I’m a bald eagle.
