Merricourt Wind Energy Center: FAQ
- Where is Merricourt Wind Energy Center?
- In McIntosh County, North Dakota (ND). The map on this page is placed at the coordinates EIA files for the plant, which locate the site rather than any individual unit.

- Who owns Merricourt Wind Energy Center?
- EIA-860M names Otter Tail Power Co as the reporting entity. That is the operator of record on the survey, which is not always the ultimate owner.
- Is this the same as Merricourt Wind Energy Center LLC?
- Probably, but EIA-860M does not say. The survey records a plant name and a reporting entity — Otter Tail Power Co here — not the project company that holds the asset. Project companies are commonly registered as an LLC carrying the plant's name, so a search for "Merricourt Wind Energy Center LLC" usually means this site. This page shows only what EIA files, and does not assert a corporate structure it cannot see.
