US community wind farm developer Juhl Wind has completed a 4.35MW installation for healthcare specialist the Gundersen Health System in Winona County, Minnesota.
Corey Juhl, vice president of development for Juhl Wind, said, 'We are seeing an increased demand for large commercial and industrial organisation projects such as Gundersen's as they fit extremely well within Juhl Wind's area of expertise. This community-based project will provide significant economic benefits to the region. As one piece of their Envision program, the wind farm project will help Gundersen Health System achieve their goal of becoming 100 per cent energy independent by 2014.'
Jeff Rich, executive director, GL Envision, added, 'As a healthcare organisation, it is important for us to lead by example. Creating renewable energy through programs, like the GL Wind project in Lewiston makes good business sense, creates local jobs during construction and ties directly to our mission of improving the health of the communities we serve. The money we generate from renewable energy projects, like the wind farm, and the money we save through energy conservation can be passed on to patients in the form of lower healthcare costs..'
