NextEnergy bids on wind turbine testing facility project

metromode, 11/5/2009

NextEnergy is bidding on a U.S. Dept. of Energy project that could lead the way to a major wind turbine testing facility near Detroit's Zug Island.

Drive trains for industrial sized wind turbines, not just the normal ones you see on the sides of houses, would be tested there. These turbines are some of the biggest alternative energy generators in the world.

But the plans are far from a done deal, as it faces competition with eight other locations across the U.S. NextEnergy is based out of Detroit's TechTown campus and specializes in the development of alternative energy.
