Faced with diminishing budgets and increasing energy costs, K-12 superintendents and school boards look to secure the future financial stability of their districts. By installing the rugged and reliable EW50 in the appropriate environment, administrators gain control of energy costs and insulate budgets from the negative financial impact of electricity price increases.
Capital funds invested in a wind turbine can offset budget losses and yield significant annual operational savings. Annual energy savings can be diverted to other core operational needs such as:
- Teacher's salaries
- Books and computer equipment
- Additional staff
- Musical instruments
- Sports equipment
Additional district benefits include:
- Reduced carbon footprint
- Positive and progressive public image
- Live turbine data is provided for science curriculums
- Renewable energy educational opportunities
- Promotion of community values
Administrators can influence the financial and environmental futures of their campuses and communities by investing in on-site wind power. The EW50 is a safe choice for schools.
