“The wind turbine is a winning project all around. The school will utilize its own source of renewable energy, reduce our carbon footprint and have a hands-on learning facility. The project also contributes clean energy to the grid and corporate sponsors receive carbon credits to offset their unavoidable emissions,†said Ron Green, the superintendent of the Shenandoah School Corporation.
Other interesting facts about the new wind farm is that the emissions it prevents equals to the emissions of 30,000 barrels of crude oil or 1.5 million gallons of gasoline. Besides, the students will get an education on wind power technology.
An engineering and construction company from Indianopolis called Performance Services is in charge of the project.
