EnviroPower project (2007-2008)
In July 2007, Inglewood High School launched EnviroPower, a $100,000 pilot renewable energy and conservation project in partnership with Venture Taranaki and the Ministry for the Environment. The EnviroPower name and logo were created by students Jamie Fenton and Chad Oliver. Two staff members assisted with the project; Mr Warwick Foy and Mr Michael Fenton as Technical Advisor and project archiver. The initiative installed a 2-kilowatt wind turbine and photovoltaic panels alongside energy-saving measures, that reduced energy demand by 17% and integrated sustainability into the curriculum.[5]
