Haviland Plastic Products Onshore Wind Farm | Ohio, United States

Haviland Plastic Products is an onshore wind farm located in Ohio, United States, with a capacity of 4.5 MW. The facility is owned by Haviland Plastic Products Co and is operational, providing wind-generated electricity to support the company's plastic products manufacturing operations. The wind farm operates under the regulatory framework of the United States, which includes federal incentives such as the Production Tax Credit (PTC) and state-level Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS). Ohio's RPS requires that 8.5% of electricity be generated from renewable sources by 2026, encouraging investments in wind energy. The 4.5 MW capacity places this facility in the small-scale wind segment, typical for industrial self-generation. By integrating onshore wind power, Haviland Plastic Products reduces its reliance on grid electricity and lowers its carbon footprint. The facility contributes to Ohio's renewable energy goals and demonstrates the viability of distributed wind energy for industrial applications, supporting local energy resilience and sustainability.

The wind farm is situated in northwestern Ohio, a region with favorable wind resources for onshore turbines. The area is primarily agricultural, with flat terrain that minimizes visual impact but requires careful siting to avoid conflicts with bird and bat populations. The facility's small scale reduces land-use concerns, and its operation displaces fossil fuel-generated electricity, contributing to local air quality improvements.
