Woodville Wind Turbine Project to Reduce Emissions, Provide Community Aid
Woodville’s newly installed wind turbines.
Our Magnesia Specialties Woodville, Ohio Lime operation entered into an agreement in late 2021 that will decrease the
site’s greenhouse gas emissions and provide valuable community assistance for decades to come. The deal with industrial
power company One Energy has resulted in the installation of three wind turbines to the division’s Woodville, Ohio,
operation that are projected to lower the site’s Scope 2 GHG emissions by up to 10,000 metric tonnes per year.
Construction on the project commenced in 2022 on a reclaimed section of the property, and was completed at the end of
2023. The equipment, each of which stands about 260 feet tall and feature three 143-foot blades, is in its shakedown
phase.
Once shakedown is complete, the turbines will immediately help the Woodville plant meet its energy needs. Though their
impact will vary from month to month based upon seasonal weather conditions, on average, the turbines are expected to
annually generate 14 million kilowatt hours (kWh), or enough energy to power approximately 1,200-1,350 average-sized
homes.
