We’d like to share a success story with you regarding wind power in Maryland. Our friends and continuing sponsors at ATech Energy have been awarded a contract to install an Endurance Wind Power turbine at Chesapeake College on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.
Atlantic Tractor/ATech Energy partnered and financially participated with Chesapeake College in order to make the College’s vision a reality. The tower will be on a 120 ft. tower for an overall system height of 150 ft.

The turbine will be the centerpiece of the College’s development and construction of its wind and solar education facility, the Center for Leadership in Environmental Education (CLEEn), at its Wye Mills campus. The center will model emerging renewable energy technologies while providing education and training opportunities for students and small businesses. The college is a leader in energy conservation and sustainability initiatives, and this project demonstrates its commitment to environmental sustainability. The college sees this commitment as a global and regional responsibility, and as a way to enhance economic development on the Eastern Shore.

The turbine is being installed now with the classrooms to follow at a later date. ATech will install an Endurance Wind Power model E-3120 50kw turbine on a 120ft tower for an overall system height of 150ft. Atlantic Tractor/Atech Energy partnered and financially participated with Chesapeake College in order to make the College’s vision a reality.
The 120ft tower arrived on site last week and construction has begun on the foundation for the tower. The tower will be erected in about 30 days, allowing time for the concrete to cure. The turbine will arrive in about 30 days and be installed on the tower around the first of September.
