BLOOMINGTON — A new facility is expected to bring wind and solar technicians from across the country to train in Bloomington. EDP Renewables, the company behind three of McLean County's wind farms, unveiled its first technician training facility, located at 1616 E. General Electric Road, on Thursday. It is the global energy company's first site in Illinois dedicated to training in renewable energy. 'This is really the cutting edge of energy,' said Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Illinois, after touring the facility with EDP leaders.
