Wind View | We’re going underground!

Did you know there are likely electric, gas, and water lines buried beneath the ground wherever you are right now? You should always call Ohio Utility Protection Services (OUPS) to locate these underground utility lines before digging to avoid potential injury, downtime, or unexpected costs.

One Energy is an OUPS member, which means if someone needs to dig at one of our operating project sites and calls OUPS, they will notify us. We then have 48 hours to perform locates. Locates are when we identify any utility lines using paint and flags, along with what type of utility it is and our contact info. Lines are marked every 25 feet or so with a Rigid locator. You can see One Energy Field Engineer Zhuoran marking underground utility lines in this week’s photos!

   

One Energy was thrilled when the Women of Renewable Industries and Sustainable Energy (WRISE) Ohio chapter said they wanted to visit our North Findlay Wind Campus for a tour. We appreciate WRISE’s mission of “igniting the collective power of community” and are excited about building a new relationship within ours!

Side-view mirrors are usually used for driving assistance, but they can also give a new creative way to look at One Energy’s wind turbines! One Energy’s service truck fleet is fantastic for helping provide our construction team with what they need to get things done in the field; they have tons of tool storage, are equipped with cranes, and provide ways to transport large or heavy-duty items. And when the trucks are parked just right in the laydown yard, they capture a unique view of the turbines at the North Findlay Wind Campus!

There are many great things about fall – college football, sweater weather, and all things pumpkin spice. But one of the things we love the most about fall is the field trips. It’s a joy showing spirited students of all ages around One Energy’s North Findlay Wind Campus as the cool autumn breeze begins to blow.

The One Energy Team sends a heartfelt farewell to all the outstanding universities who hosted us at their career fairs this fall! Thank you to Ohio State University, the University of Michigan, the University of Pennsylvania, and the University of Toledo for having us, and to all the curious and enthusiastic students who visited our booths.
