(MENAFN) Honda spokesman, Ron Lietzke, stated that the firm's transmission plant in western Ohio will install wind turbines to produce electricity, reported AP citing the Bellefontaine Examiner.
Lietzke said that the turbines that would be established and would start operations in 2013 would generate around 10 percent of the Russells Point plant's electrical needs.
The turbines, which would help lower the plant's carbon dioxide emissions, will sit at the top of two 260-foot towers.
Each of the turbines will have 160-feet long blades that will drive generators which in turn would produce approximately 10,000-megawatt hours a year.
The company's transmission plant will be one of the first automotive manufacturing facilities in the US to get a considerable amount of electricity from wind turbines on its property, and will be the first Honda plant to launch a wind turbine project of this size in the world.
