As a part of continuous improvement, the NMUK plant built a wind farm at the plant. The generation of renewable energy cut carbon dioxide emissions at power plants by more than 3000 tonnes per year.

In October 2005 NMUK installed and started generating electricity from six 660kW recycled wind turbines.

Express IT helped perform the integration of the communication links with Fibre Optic.
