What renewable energy resources exist in Southern Indiana?
While there is an arguably large amount of biomass waste (which could be co-fired with coal at existing generation facilities) in Southern Indiana, SIREN focuses primarily on the solar potential of the region. Most of Southern Indiana has nearly five hours of direct sunlight per day which makes it a viable region for the installation of flat plate solar collectors and for passive solar systems designed to heat space and/or water. Geothermal energy projects as well as viable wind energy projects will be pursued and supported as well.
