South Dakota 18th for Green Power Production in 2022 – Dakota Free Press

In 2022, South Dakota is expected to become a leader in renewable energy production, with an estimated 18th place ranking among states in the nation. This is due in large part to the state’s commitment to green power development, which has already seen a sharp rise in solar, wind and geothermal energy projects.

In recent years, South Dakota has become one of the fastest-growing states for renewable energy investment. This has been largely driven by the state’s focus on clean energy policies and incentives, which have attracted numerous developers and investors to the area. In particular, the state has seen a surge in solar and wind energy projects, which have made up the majority of South Dakota’s green power production.

As a result of this growth, South Dakota is now projected to become the 18th-largest producer of renewable energy in the nation by the year 2022. This is due to the state’s robust renewable energy portfolio, which includes a mix of solar, wind, geothermal and other sources.

In addition to its impressive renewable energy production, South Dakota also boasts an impressive infrastructure for green energy storage. This includes several large-scale storage facilities, which are designed to store and redistribute energy generated by renewable sources. This helps ensure a reliable supply of green energy, even when renewable sources are not producing at full capacity.

South Dakota is also taking steps to further improve its green energy production. For example, the state recently enacted legislation that allows utilities to purchase renewable energy credits from out-of-state sources. This helps the state meet its renewable energy goals, while also reducing its dependence on fossil fuels.

The state’s commitment to renewable energy and green power production is a testament to its commitment to sustainability and clean energy. With South Dakota projected to be the 18th-largest producer of renewable energy in the nation by 2022, it appears that the state is well on its way to becoming a leader in green power production.
