ISHPEMING - A replacement for the wind turbine that stands outside the Pioneer Bluffs Apartments will be among the first of a new design erected across the country, according to company officials.
Set to be rolled out in 2013, the first 100 new Wind-e20 turbines designed by Clean Green Energy, LLC and McKenzie Bay International will be placed in high profile areas around the country, said CGE President Bryan Zaplitny, including the city of Ishpeming. The redesigned model will be a replacement for the prototype turbine that has stood outside the Ishpeming Housing Commission's Pioneer Bluffs for the past few years as the two companies worked to overcome legal and design issues to develop a marketable renewable energy product.
