Noble Environmental Power Builds Michigan's Newest Windpark
Ubly MI (SPX) Jul 18, 2008 Noble Environmental Power has announced that construction on Michigan's newest windpark is underway. The Noble Thumb I Windpark will generate 69 megawatts of clean energy using 46 GE 1.5 megawatt turbines, which is enough to power about 23,000 average homes. Over a period of 20 years, it would require burning more than 1.5 million tons of coal -- enough to fill a train 178 miles long -- to create the same amount of electricity. Construction work on the Noble Thumb I Windpark is being performed by RMT WindConnect. Noble estimates that the project will create approximately 85 new construction jobs, and will result in more than $3.5 million in property tax payments over the next 20 years. Once the Noble Thumb I Windpark is operational, hundreds of thousands of dollars in easement payments will be made to landowners each year. Noble has approximately 3,850 megawatts of windparks under development in eight states. In May, Noble held ribbon-cutting ceremonies for three newly-operational windparks in New York State, and in June the company held groundbreaking ceremonies for four more New York State windparks. Noble also recently began construction of the 114 megawatt Noble Great Plains Windpark in Texas. Related Links Noble Powering The World in the 21st Century at Energy-Daily.com
