ANKENY, Iowa — DMACC officials revealed a new energy park at the Ankeny campus Wednesday.
The energy park complements the college's renewable energy and wind turbine technology programs and will allow students to get hands-on experience with wind turbines and solar energy systems.
The latest addition to the energy park is a 2.3-megawatt wind turbine generator nacelle donated by MidAmerican Energy.
“American industry is moving in the direction of renewable energy and so is the College," said Rob Denson, DMACC President.
The college's wind energy program has been in operation since 2010, but the renewable energy program emphasizing solar technology is a new addition.
The energy park is open to the public.
