QUINCY (WGEM) – Photo voltaic panels are actually powering elements of the Quincy Regional Airport and it is saving town power.
Only a 12 months in the past, it was an idea, however Director of Administrative Providers Jeff Mays mentioned, even on a cloudy day, like Wednesday, the power generated by the panels coated the power used. on the terminal.
He mentioned half of the $1.4 million venture have to be paid for within the subsequent 5 years.
This may partially come from power conservation fund rebates and $60,000 a 12 months from power financial savings.
“In the event you can have a renewable power supply to truly energy your airport terminal, these issues that you do not have to purchase from the utilities themselves, it is gone,” Mays mentioned. “So it is a sustainable power supply for a significant power consumer.”
Mays mentioned that any financial savings obtained can be used first to repay the venture bonds.
He mentioned as soon as paid, the cash may be allotted for different functions.
