Erie Community Unit District No.1


     Unit District No.1 is the first School District in the U.S. to attempt to have it's entire electrical power supplied by a wind turbine. This goal has been partially achieved as the turbine is producing power and actual savings have been realized through a reduction in power expenses from previous periods. Live data concerning the Wind Turbine and it's impact upon energy consumption and District savings can be found at this website: Link
