Students in the Northeast Community College Wind Energy program visited the Laredo Ridge Wind Farm near Petersburg on Thursday, October 2. The wind farm is operated by Clearway. Under the guidance of Clearway staff and their instructor, 14 freshmen students had the opportunity to climb an actual industrial wind turbine. “It was incredibly rewarding to see the excitement on their faces and hear the enthusiasm in their voices as they described the experience. Their reactions truly reflected the impact of hands-on learning in the field. We greatly appreciate our industry partners helping to facilitate this experience,” said Aaron Hoffmann, Wind Energy instructor. (Northeast Community College)
