Whirlpool Corporation to Use Wind Energy to Power Its Ohio Facility
February 2015 - Whirlpool Corporation plans to use on-site wind turbines to provide power at its Findlay, Ohio facility. The $18 million on-site wind farm project will be financed by One Energy and will consist of five wind turbines to be built on 70 acres of land between Whirlpool's plant and the Ball Corporation plant. Two of these turbines will be allocated to Whirlpool, while the remaining three will serve the Ball plant. The generated wind power is anticipated to offset about 22 percent of Whirlpool's electric consumption costs at the manufacturing facility. Additionally, Whirlpool will create one $5,000 Megawatt Scholarship annually for each turbine to encourage education in the technologies and industries of the future.
