INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - The Indianapolis Motor Speedway has planned to build a 25-acre solar farm on IMS property northeast of the track.
The IMS announced Thursday that it will expand its commitment to renewable energy and green initiatives by building the farm in a partnership with SunWize Technologies, Blue Renewable Energy and the Indianapolis Power and Light Company.
The project will be the largest solar-power system hosted at any sporting facility in the world, according to a release.
The project will bring 39,312 solar modules that will generate a total 9.6 megawatts of power.
Construction is set to begin in May 2013. Officials say it will not interfere with racing events.
