school turbines

background

Wind turbines are not only a way for a school to save money every year, with a bit of careful thought and planning they can also be integrated into the curriculum and used as an effective teaching tool.
Proven Energy has installed many turbines in schools and has plenty of positive feedback. One of the biggest benefits for a school is that a complete system, including foundations, installation and training can be heavily subsidised.
In many cases the government is willing to fund up to 50% of the total installation costs and in some cases other grant bodies will match that funding.

suitability

Each school has its own characteristics. Be it geographical, educational or financial and we can cater for all of these in our system design.
We can provide a small Proven 7 turbine to make a small amount of electricity and provide a basic educational benefit or install a larger turbine such as a Proven 35 wind turbine and seriously reduce a schools outgoing capital and offer a wider educational benefit.
Even at the stage of site assessment several schools have involved pupils to help give them an understanding and firsthand experience of renewables and the environment.
