London Schools Going Green with Wind Turbines

Leventhorpe school in Sawbridgeworth has decided to lead the way when it comes to communities going green. They’ve decided to install a wind turbine to help power the school.

The turbing will produce enough electricity to power three family homes which will save the school 1,200 pounds a year. That’s 14,000 kWh of electricity within the shool year making this school one of the first and hopefully not the last.

The cost to install one of these turbines at a school like Leventhorpe is 20,000 pounds. The students determined that in the first month of service they created enough energy to toast 24,371 pieces of bread! That’s a lotta toast. Hope it’s a big school.
