WIND TURBINE BLADES ARRIVE AT NORMAL PLANT

The final components arrived today for Rivian's on-site wind turbine at our flagship manufacturing facility in Normal, IL. Construction is already underway. When the turbine is up and running in a few months, every new Rivian vehicle that rolls off our assembly line will get its first charge with 100 percent carbon-free energy, contributing to our goal of operating a net zero plant. Over its lifetime, the turbine is projected to save millions in energy costs for the plant.



“Our job isn’t done when our vehicles come off the line. While we’re working hard to help electrify transportation, we’re also pushing to accelerate the shift to carbon-free electricity for all. This wind turbine is an early step on that path, and it’s also a beacon of our vision for a clean energy future.”
