“We’ve been working toward this day for a long time,” said Mark Dhennin, Cummins’ Director of Energy and the Environment. “I’m proud we were able to help make this expansion happen. It’s good for our company, good for our partners at Meadow Lake and good for the world.”
The expansion comes just after the United Nation’s climate conference concluded in Katowice, Poland. Participants discussed ways the world can increase low-carbon energy sources like wind and solar to replace power produced by fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas.
“We believe wind farms like Meadow Lake are part of the solution,” said Blair Matocha, spokesperson for EDP Renewables of North America, Meadow Lake’s owner. “It’s great to see companies like Cummins helping us take a great idea like capturing energy from the wind and turning it into a reality.”
