“We are using the geothermal energy for one half of the duplex, with the other half using a conventional heating and cooling system. This will provide very accurate comparisons of the utility savings,” he said.

American Public University System (APUS), an online higher-education provider focused on the military and public service communities, has christened the largest solar power array in West Virginia.

The Agia Anna Wind Energy plant will have a power capacity of 20 MW. It will be equipped with ten wind turbines Gamesa G90 of 2 MW each.

“We had a lot of problems with finding the right panels, the right battery. It hasn’t been easy. This is solar power. You go on the road with storms, rain and all types of conditions. You never know what will happen.”
