MidAmerican Energy is continually adding renewable energy to the company's electric generation capabilities, and thanks to voluntary contributions from customers, the company constructed a .5 megawatt wind turbine on the Iowa State Fairgrounds in 2007.
While benefiting all Iowa customers, the State Fair wind turbine provides fair goers the opportunity to learn more about renewable energy generation. In addition, the turbine has the potential to generate enough electricity to power more than 400 average U.S. homes for one year.
Future Renewable Advantage projects may involve wind, solar, biomass, animal waste/methane or other renewable energy technologies, and will be determined by customer interest and participation.
Renewable energy generation:
- Improves air and water quality;
- Helps prevent power plant and greenhouse gas emissions; and
- Reduces our dependency on fossil fuels.
