Beginning this fall, the College began receiving about five percent of its electricity from wind power through a program operated by Community Energy, Inc., of Pennsylvania.
The energy comes from a wind farm located in Madison County in central New York, where twenty 220-foot turbines generate thirty megawatts of
electricity annually. Union joins Hobart and William Smith
Colleges, the State University of New York at Buffalo, the University of Pennsylvania, Penn State, and Carnegie Mellon in getting a portion of their electricity from wind power.
