Wind power is growing fast in Missouri--faster by far then any other state in the US. In fact, the Show-Me state increased its wind power capacity by an impressive 90% in the second quarter of 2009. In contrast, the state coming in second, Pennsylvania, only managed a 28% increase.
Bell was the electrical contractor of record for Washington University’s newly renovated Corner Building on Skinker and Delmar boulevards. Generating an estimated 14,000 kilowatts of power per hour, the wind turbines help to reduce the building's overall electricity draw from the community's power grid. "The university wanted to create an architecturally interesting feature for the building that would add to the ambience of the Loop area," said Michael Benoist, project manager in the Office of Facilities Planning and Management.
?Bell Electrical Contractors is one of a handful of companies to participate in Ameren UE’s Pure Power program at the Leader Level. Pure Power is a voluntary program which gives Ameren electric customers the opportunity to support wind farms and other renewable energy facilities in the Midwest. As a Pure Power Leader, Bell is helping to prevent 132,768 pounds of Carbon Dioxide, a leading greenhouse gas, from entering the atmosphere each year. This is equal to the C02 reduction equivalent of protecting 14 acres of forest storing carbon for one year, or taking 13 cars off the road for a year.
?Bell’s sister company, Bombard Electric, has become Nevada’s largest renewable energy experts, specializing in solar energy and wind energy. We have assembled a team of experienced designers and qualified technicians to meet the demands of today’s and future emerging technological advancements in field of renewable energy. |
