Eco factor: Enbridge works on the largest photovoltaic solar energy facility in North America.
It looks like Enbridge, the Canadian company behind the recent oil spill in Michigan’s Calhoun County near Marshall, is making an attempt to do some good to the environment. The company in collaboration with First Solar is working on the largest photovoltaic solar energy facility in North America. The Sarnia Solar Project in Ontario is being expanded from 20 megawatts to 80 megawatts.
The facility is expected to be completed in September and will produce enough energy to power 12,800 homes and keep about 39,000 tons of CO2 a year out of the atmosphere. Enbridge has earned a bad name for the spill has been called the worst in Midwest history. So, making this green initiative is certainly a great step, but it certainly doesn’t excuse the company’s most recent disastrous act.
