The Lander County School District is the latest to go green after installing new wind turbines.

In December, nine turbines were installed at Eleanor Lemaire Elementary School in Battle Mountain and the Austin K-12 School.

The turbines can generate up to 360 kilowatts of electricity which will help cut the school district's monthly energy bill.

Lander County School District will also get a large rebate from NV Energy's Renewable Generations Program to help offset installation costs.
