The Maverick Creek Wind Farm supplied 582,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) of bundled renewable electricity offsets to Kimberly-Clark during its first full year of operation. At Kimberly-Clark’s Salamanca manufacturing facility in Western Spain, the installation of a biomass boiler will reduce the natural gas consumption at the facility by 40% .
