We really want to be on the cutting edge of renewable energy for schools, says David Walsh, consultant and associate superintendent for WCS. This will help us do that.
Parts for the wind turbine are already there. The wind turbine is expected to be up and running by the end January, 2009. WCS says that the power generated from the turbine will be utilized by the school.
The data from it is anticipated to support determine the viability of wind turbines in the Warren area. It will also serve as basis for interesting and teaching students about careers in alternative energy. WCS is also looking at ways to conserve energy in its operations.
We’re looking at our energy consumption and where we get our energy from, said Walsh. It’s just possible that wind has a role with us.
