CMS Energy opened Northwest Ohio Wind this week, giving General Motors access to a 105-megawatt wind project that will provide renewable energy for a minimum of 15 years.
The 15-year renewable energy purchase agreement between the two companies will allow Northwest Ohio Wind to help General Motors offset the carbon emissions from seven of its Midwestern plants. As for CMS, the facility represents a larger push into renewable sources.
“Renewable energy is an important part of GM’s vision for a zero-emissions future,” Rob Threlkeld, Global Manager of Renewable Energy for General Motors, said. “Working with CMS Energy’s Northwest Ohio Wind farm, along with the HillTopper Wind Project in Illinois, we’ll soon power all of our manufacturing facilities in Ohio and Indiana with 100 percent clean wind energy.”
The carbon offset anticipated from the agreement will be equivalent to planting more than 6.1 million trees or taking more than 50,000 cars off the road each year.
