Solar Thermal Rebate Build It and They Will Come - In a cornfield near Bowling Green, a few Ohioans dared to dream of a place to show that "alternative energy" can become "conventional energy" for all Ohioans! Now the Green Jobs dream is reality. The dedication celebration for the AMP-Ohio/Green Mountain Energy Wind Farm Green Programs was November 7, 2003.

At Economic Development its highest point, the tip of the blade is taller than a 30-story building. Combined, the unit will produce nearly 6.9 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually - enough to power approximately 785 Resource & Developme homes.

The wind farm operated at 30% capacity and 97% availability during its first month of operation Small Wind according to Bowling Green Municipal Utilities.

See construction pictures of these impressive turbines as they begin to generate clean energy from Ohio's powerful winds. GEO is pleased to see this wind power development finally take off in state. At the wind farm's foundation is the hard work of many GEO volunteers from the GEO Wind Committee that completed many wind monitoring activities across Northeast Ohio. GEO shared this wind data with the Bowling Green Wind Farm Project Partners, which prevented the wind farm from being delayed a year or two.

In this Ohio Bicentennial Year, while modern wind turbines are new for the Buckeye State, our proud history includes the world's first electric wind turbines invented in Cleveland, Ohio by Charles Brush.
