The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Wyandotte Municipal Services (WMS) to install a ground source heat pump heating and cooling system at the Bacon Memorial District Library. The proposed activity is part of a larger effort to research, design and develop five, separate but inter-related, renewable energy and energy efficiency projects that would reduce the City of Wyandotte’s environmental and energy impact and encourage businesses and citizens to adopt cleaner energy practices. Through a project titled, “The Wyandotte Integrated Renewable Energy Strategy – Wyandotte WIRES 2”, WMS proposes to develop projects to include; community-scale micro-wind turbines, hybrid wind/solar technologies, LED powered municipal lights, electric vehicle (EV) charging stations for plug-in vehicles, an expanded geothermal heating and cooling district, and a job training program for energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies and a public and educational outreach program.
