TOLEDO -- Owens Community College will install a new, larger wind turbine Thursday morning.

The turbine is 130 feet tall, which is about about 100 feet taller than the college's recently installed structure.

Students will use it for educational purposes within the Workforce and Community Services program. The first students to receive instruction on the turbine will be unemployed and dislocated workers who are currently participating in the initial Wind Turbine Installation and Maintenance Technician Program.

The generator will also be used to convert wind power into electricity in the Industrial and Engineering Technologies building.

The installation is scheduled to be finished on Friday at 5:00 p.m., followed by operational safety tests.
