The energy generated by the turbine will also offset thousands of pounds of emissions consisting of 45,000 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2), 55 pounds of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and 145 pounds of sulfur dioxide (SO2). CO2 emits greenhouse gas that is causing global warming, NOx causes smog and acid rain, and SO2 is the main cause of acid rain.
“Aldridge Electric is doing its part to be sustainable by investing in renewable energy to help reduce our carbon footprint,” said Ken Aldridge, chief executive officer of Aldridge Electric. “We’ve enjoyed working Entegrity Wind and are thrilled to have a wind turbine spinning at our headquarters to help offset our energy costs.”
“Since Aldridge Electric is a large company, with high energy needs, they are a perfect candidate for one of Entegrity’s EW50 wind turbines,” said William O’Donnell, managing director of business development for Entegrity Wind. “The EW50 is an ideal capital investment that will enable Aldridge Electric to compensate for its future retail rate electricity costs.”
