Wind energy cuts Cork school’s bill

A CORK school has found the answer to its soaring energy costs blowing in the wind.

The 205-pupils of Scoil an Chroí Ró Naofa primary school in Castletownbere in West Cork have used a wind turbine to slash their electricity bill.

The six-metre high 1kW turbine was installed on the school grounds and connected to the building’s electrical system at Easter.
