A P.E.I. community wants to be powered entirely by wind energy by next year, says the town administrator.
Kinkora, near the town of Kensington in Prince County, wants to buy two wind turbines to power the community.
Jody Hartley said the wind turbines will cost about $200,000 each, which the community should recover in a few years.
"We're hoping to save about $25,000 a year ... We'll put it back into the Kanata Club for upgrades and [ we're ] hoping to start up some [ new ] programs," she said.
The Kanata Club houses the community's library and fire hall. It uses geothermal technology to run the facility, which saves money by using energy present in the earth to heat and cool the building.
Hartley said residents will discuss buying the turbines, and where they would go, at an upcoming community meeting.
