An energy efficiency project this summer hopes to the cure for high power bills for a DeWitt County School District.

Blue Ridge schools have battled high power consumption at their Farmer City campus and Superintendent Susan Wilson says they are targeting an energy efficiency project to help reduce those power bills.

Energy efficiency projects are not cheap, however, Wilson hopes the district begins to see a return on their investment rather quickly with the savings they are projected to realize.

According to Wilson, the system in place is a good system, however, they need to re-tune their motors and developing sensors to allow room-specific climate control.
