The roof of the main office Intel wind turns into a mini power station

One of the world's largest manufacturers of semiconductor chips, Intel used to be on the cutting edge of modern technology, including in the field of alternative energy.

Recently, the company announced the next phase of the programme on the use of renewable energy sources on the roof of its main office in Santa Clara, California, it found 58 wind micro-turbines. Today it is one of the world's largest arrays of wind turbines of this size.

According to Intel, the project will help to collect data for the study of clean energy, as well as identifying new ways to advance the sustainable development agenda. It is worth noting that the company is no stranger in the use of alternative energy sources.

And currently, the company in partnership with third parties completing construction in 12 campuses Intel 12 individual solar installations that are expected to annually generate 12 million kilowatts of electricity.





A new project for the installation and use of wind micro-turbines at the main office in Santa Clara will keep the leading position of Intel in sustainable production and business.

According to Martin Sadler, Director of Global Utilities & Infrastructure at Intel, the choice of wind micro-turbines – model "Zefr" from JLM Energy – dictated by local climatic conditions, characterized, in particular, the average wind speed. As expected, these small, but effective and easy to use installation will generate clean electricity, working about 15 – 16 hours a day, mainly in morning hours. published
