A solar and wind farm could offer an opportunity for young people at Starr Commonwealth to learn about alternative energy.
Starr Commonwealth, a nonprofit working in partnership with Patriot Solar Group LLC, near Albion, and six other renewable energy companies, has made a bid to install a solar and wind farm capable of generating 200 megawatts of power for Detroit Edison Co.
The proposed solar and wind farm would create enough renewable electric energy to power more than 28,500 southeast Michigan homes and reduce carbon emissions at a rate of 283,000 tons annually.
Excerpt:
Should it win the full 200 megawatt contract, it would become the largest combined wind and solar farm in the United States on about 2,500 acres of farmland owned by Starr Commonwealth, Patriot Solar Group President Jeff Mathie said.
