Ikata's Windmills

Environmentally friendly power

We choose wind power because it is a clean energy alternative.

  1. Our windmills power about 6,850 homes every year
    Projected output Avg. consumption/household
    29,000,000 kWh ÷ 4,234 kWh/year = 6,894 homes

  2. Wind power can save about 35,000 drums of oil per year
    Projected output Oil to produce 1 kWh
    29,000,000 kWh × 0.243 L/kWh = 7,047,000 L = 35,000 drums

  3. CO2 emissions can be cut by 20,400 metric tons per year
    Projected output CO2 produced per 1 kWh
    29,000,000 kWh × 0.704 kg/kWh = 20,416 tons

  4. This reduction of CO2 emissions is equivalent to the CO2 absorption of 5 million cedar trees
    CO2 reduction CO2 absorption per tree
    20,416,000 kg ÷ 3.8 kg/year/tree = 5,372,600 trees
