Meetings 563.732.2211 ABOUT SERVICES REBATES & EFFICIENCY RENEWABLE ENERGY MY COOP NEWS & EVENTS CAREERS CONTACT PERFORMANCE DATA Eastern Iowa REC has supported the development of reliable and cost-effective renewable energy alternatives. The Cooperative sees renewable energy as one piece in the total energy puzzle. To further develop the Cooperative’s interest in renewable energy, the organization has installed a wind turbine and an 18-panel solar array at the DeWitt service center. The turbine sits atop a 50-foot steel tower and has a rated peak capacity of 2.4 kW. The blades are approximately six feet long and are made of a reinforced fiberglass composite material. The solar array has a rated peak capacity of 3.1 kW with six solar panels attached to each post located next to the wind turbine. Each month the output from the wind turbine and solar array will be reported in the Eastern Iowa REC member newsletter, Current News, and posted here, along with the weather statistics for the area. The weather figures are gathered from the Iowa Department of Transportation Roadway Weather Information system found online at www.weatherview.dot.state.ia.us/. Three readings are taken each day to come up with the monthly average. Eastern Iowa REC Wind Turbine/Solar Array Data Date Avg. Temp. Avg.
