FUNDING FOR MICROGRID EMERGENCY BACKUP

“I am proud to see Windham recognized for its leadership in taking care of its residents while pursuing energy efficiency initiatives,” Rep. Johnson said. “This project is a great example of the town and the state working together to ensure that the public has a safe place to shelter in case of an emergency.”

The state is providing $1.44 million for the new work in addition to a previous $709,000 state grant from the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) to create an electric micro grid on the property. Architectural plans are now being developed; work on the project is expected to begin in the late spring or early summer of next year.
