Gamesa Technology and its partner Harvest the Wind Network (HTWN) are jointly working on a community wind project to help HARBEC Plastics, a western New York manufacturer, offset retail energy rates and zero-out carbon emissions.
This is Gamesa’s first distributed wind project with Harvest the Wind. The two companies signed an agreement in March that makes Harvest the Wind a primary distributor of Gamesa’s family of G5X-850 kW turbines for community and distributed wind energy projects. Harvest the Wind’s regional partner, Sustainable Energy Developments (SED), designed, permitted, and will install the G58 turbine on a 55-meter tower at the Wayne Industrial Sustainability Park, where HARBEC is located. HARBEC Plastics will use one of Gamesa’s G58-850 kW turbines to supply electricity directly to its plant in Ontario, N.Y., located approximately 25 miles east of Rochester. The company, recognized as a “green molder” in specialised plastics production, is working to make its facility carbon neutral by 2013.
