Newtown Youth Academy

“We're looking at this for the kids, for health, for the future. Clean and green; it's time we move in that direction.”

Peter D’Amico, CEO Bulk Materials International

Newtown Youth Academy’s system was designed to maximize energy production while at the same time meeting the CCEF program goals for efficiency and return on investment. The system is expected to produce approximately 305,928 kilo watt hours of electricity annually and to supply 31 percent of the building’s annual electrical needs. The installation will greatly reduce energy costs while benefitting the environment.
