ONE ENERGY FEED

Valfilm, a plastics manufacturing company in Findlay, OH, announced their decision for two One Energy wind turbines to supply more than 75% of the facility’s electricity needs. Just down the street from One Energy’s headquarters, Valfilm’s turbines added to the growing “wind farm” at the North Findlay Wind Campus.

The beginning of 2016 signified the start of an ongoing partnership between One Energy and Whirlpool Corporation in increasing the sustainability of Whirlpool’s manufacturing. 

In their annual sustainability report, Whirlpool highlighted the benefits they had already seen from their first Wind for Industry project at their Findlay, OH plant – and introduced plans for wind energy at two more Ohio facilities. 

See page numbers 2, 3, 6, and 14 (3rd, 4th, 7th, and 15th pages of the PDF) for details of their Wind for Industry ambitions.

The residents of Marion, OH enthusiastically welcomed the wind turbines One Energy installed at their Whirlpool facility. To those interviewed for this article, Wind for Industry was a sign that the jobs created by Whirlpool in their area weren’t going anywhere for a long time. To us, that’s true sustainability.

Whirlpool Corporation’s long-lasting commitment to on-site wind energy began in 2015 with One Energy’s installation of two Wind for Industry turbines at the Whirlpool plant in Findlay, OH. 

The sustainability report for 2015 profiled this landmark event, highlighting its contribution to their goal to decrease the energy intensity for the U.S. “Better Plants Program” outlined in the report.
