University of Nottingham Proposes to Install Three Wind Turbines

University of Nottingham has announced its decision to go green with wind turbine installations. The University has plans of installing three wind turbines over the banks of the Trent River to generate enough electricity for use in its main campus.

The University has a sent a proposal to install three wind turbines each measuring 125m to generate power to meet the power requirements of the University Park site. The wind turbine installations will help the university to reduce up to 7,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions every year. On receiving the approval from the authorities, the University is planning to install the wind turbines over a university-owned land next to the River Trent in close proximity to Clifton Bridge.

Alan Dodson, a Professor in the University, said that the clean wind project will not release any carbon dioxide emissions or produce wastes and will help the university to contribute its mite in the waged war against climatic change. He added that the achieved success after the wind energy implementation in reducing  carbon emissions will influence the amount of financial assistance received by the University from the Higher Education Funding Council for England and will help the university to continue to provide good research facility and education.
