Ringneck Energy to be commissioned by year’s end

In South Dakota, at long last and after several false starts, Ringneck Energy in Onida is set to begin producing ethanol by year’s end thanks to good weather in December that allowed construction to progress faster than expected. Delays in starting construction due to regulatory hurdles and legal challenges allowed time to upgrade designs that mean more modern technology and 80 million gallons of annual production rather than the original 70 million gallons the plant was designed for.
