Public Meeting Scheduled For Wy’east Middle School Energy Project

A public meeting is scheduled for Wednesday on an energy resilience project that could be done at Wy’east Middle School.  The Microgrid Opportunities: Vehicles Enhancing Resiliency, or MOVER, program would implement a nationally replicable pilot project that uses electric school buses and light duty fleet vehicles as energy storage for a solar powered microgrid.  Lindsay McClure of the Mid-Columbia Economic Development District says the system would provide backup power at Wy’east Middle School so that community members have a space with power backup during outages.  McClure says the project received a $1 million grant from the Energy Department to pay for the bulk of it, while some more funding is being sought as a match.  The meeting will be Wednesday evening at 6:30 at Wy’east Middle School.
