Public hearing for proposed Harmony Storage project to be held in Casselton

CASSELTON, N.D. — The North Dakota Public Service Commission (PSC) will hold a public hearing to give area residents the opportunity to share input on a proposed battery storage project. The hearing will begin at 10 a.m. Friday, Oct. 23, at the Central Days Inn Hotel Governor's Waterpark, RV Park Fitness Center. The address is 2050 Governor's Drive in Casselton. Harmony Storage was proposed by Geronimo Power, a Minnesota-based energy company currently building Harmony Solar in Harmony Township. The company also hopes to build a data center in the township, which could use up to 540 megawatts with the potential for future expansion, according to the project's conditional use permit application. The data center, though, is not the subject of the Oct. 23 PSC hearing. The storage system would be located on approximately 9.73 acres inside the larger 74-acre area where solar construction is already underway. The solar project is expected to be 200 megawatts. The
