Power in Saranac

A woodworking
shop uses a lot of electricity, mainly for power tools. In order to
reduce our demand for fossil-fuel generated power, we recently took
advantage of a grant from NYSERDA (New York State Energy Research
and Development Authority) to install a 10,000 watt photovoltaic system.
The system will provide for a substantial portion of our electricity
needs and, at current electricity rates, will pay for itself in about
10 years – all part of our effort to support environment-friendly
industry.
