London’s Palestra Ready To Get New Wind Turbines
By Nick March 31, 2008
Palestra is a building situated in the South London and inside you can find the London Development Agency and the London Climate Change Agency. Palestra has an extraordinary design envisioned by Alsop Architects and its construction cost about $120 million.
Although there was a big amount of money invested, one of its component failed in 2006 and now the Palestra is going to receive new wind turbines in order to power up the building again. LDA and LCCA have the purpose of improving the life quality for the Londoners, to sustain the economic growth and to contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions.
The substitution of the wind turbines will be made by Solar Technologies Ltd. and soon the Palestra will be powered also with the help of fuel cell technology. As London moves forward, the authorities are planning to build another green and high technology structures. We will have to wait and see if other cities in the world will follow their example.
