The Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District and Price Engineering Co. have received a combined $8 million to invest in their operations through the State Energy Program.
Price Engineering which is establishing a wind-turbine service facility in Hartland, received $3 million from the state.
Price Engineering will provide maintenance services and repairs for wind-turbine gear driven systems. The funds will be used to buy equipment for the gear-driven remanufacturing plant. The plant will include material handling, testing capabilities, and a gear-drive spares-management process to ensure replacement of worn gear boxes in turbines.
The project will create 111 jobs and represents a total investment of $9 million according to the Commerce Department.
Five million dollars was granted to the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) through the State Energy Program.
MMSD plans to use the funds to purchase turbines capable of burning landfill gas. The gas will be converted into electricity and used in the manufacturing process. The total cost for the project is said to be $88 million.
The American Recovery Reinvestment Act is funding the State Energy Program. Currently Wisconsin is the only state directing 100 percent of its state energy funds from the act to help manufacturers bring down their costs through energy efficiency and renewable energy projects.
