Bookmark and Share Email this story Print this post Add your comments

Chrysler is erecting a 26-story meteorological tower at its Chelsea Proving Grounds to determine if high-level winds are suitable for generating electricity. Energy experts from Washtenaw County, the University of Michigan and the consulting firm, North Coast Wind and Power, will monitor the site.

If the study yields favorable results, Chrysler says it will investigate the potential to construct turbines on the property.

A study of Washtenaw County wind energy potential, along with other related documents, is available here.
