GM’s Bedford, Defiance plants to be powered by wind farms

AFS Corporate Member General Motors (Detroit) will power its casting operations in Bedford, Indiana, and Defiance, Ohio, with wind energy. The company is buying a total of 200 megawatts of wind energy from wind farms in Ohio and Illinois to power some facilities in Indiana and Ohio.

“We’re helping provide solutions to green the grid through these new renewable energy deals and sharing best practices with other companies so they too can reduce risk and energy costs,” Rob Threlkeld, global manager of renewable energy, GM, said in a news release. “With a pragmatic strategy, companies can turn ambitious renewable energy goals into action and scale quickly.”
