On October 8th as part of The Office of Sustainability’s ongoing Fall Sustainability series, students and staff- led by Amber Nicholson visited Puget Sound Energy’s Wild Horse Wind and Solar Facility and Renewable Energy Center. Set high on a ridge 16 miles east of Ellensburg in Central Washington, the facility’s amenities include a 360 degree views of Mount Rainier, Mount Adams, Mount Hood, and the Columbia River Basin. The facility offers an up-close look at wind and sun’s tremendous opportunities for producing clean, renewable energy. Wild Horse is home to dozens of huge wind turbines , which have the capacity to generate up to a whopping 273 megawatts of electricity! Aside from these turbines, the solar-power installation, one of the Northwest’s largest, can generate up to 502 kilowatts of electricity. Puget Sound Energy\u2019s Renewable Energy Center offers a first-hand look at how these elements are turned into electricity.<\/p>\n
