These units are <br />those that are commonly constructed and located in groups to create a large energy-producing facility <br />generally known as a wind farm. Utility scale WECS units typically require a wind score of five (5) or <br />greater (Heller and Stimmel 2008). According to the state-wide analysis, the City of Ramsey appears to <br />be within level 2-3, which does not support ideal conditions for Utility Scale WECS. <br /> <br />Minnesota State Statute permits the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission to issue site permits for <br />these types of systems (over five megawatts). Systems less than five megawatts are subject to local <br />jurisdiction (Public Utilities Commission 2009). <br /> <br />Medium-Scale WECS <br /> <br />The medium scale WECS units appear to be most commonly used as a private source of electricity to <br />larger business complexes. These units do not typically require contribution to the overall grid and <br />usually contribute to a portion of a larger business' needs. Medium scale WECS units are showing to be <br />less common as it appears that most units are either utility-scale or smaller, personal-scale units. A <br />
