The following information was released by the Michigan Department of Energy, Labor & Economic Growth (DELEG):
Department of Energy, Labor and Economic Growth Acting Director Andrew S. Levin today announced that Genoa Township in Livingston County has successfully installed five Windspire wind/solar hybrid turbines, completing the townships $94,919 Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant project.
“The five Windspires will provide clean energy for the township hall and even generate energy that can be sold back to the utility to benefit Genoas citizens,” said Levin. “Investing in energy-saving projects throughout Michigan boosts the state’s energy efficiency and renewable energy industries, reduces energy costs for communities, and creates jobs.”
“Renewable energy. In an age of oil spills and mine disasters of epic proportions, it’s a term that’s garnering more and more attention every day. This is good news for Windspire Technologies, a Reno, NV-based company that manufactures wind turbines made in Michigan in an old auto parts plant, employing former auto workers (www.windspireenergy.com).”
“Moving forward on its mission to make the city eco-friendly, Reno will unveil a Windspire turbine Thursday on top of the parking gallery at the corner of First and Sierra streets. Unlike the previous wind turbines Reno has installed, this one has an artsy twist.”
