CARBONDALE, Ill. — Southern Illinois University is weighing whether wind can help power its flagship Carbondale campus.
The university’s board of trustees was to vote Thursday on whether to develop plans and gather cost estimates on construction of a wind turbine on campus.
The debate comes at a time when university administrators say annual electricity costs for the campus have risen nearly $3 million the past five years.
A final proposal on the wind turbine project will be presented to the board for approval later.
