The wind may be going out of an alternative energy option offered by College Station Utilities.
Mayor Nancy Berry says the city council will receive a staff report later this year of the underperforming Wind Watts service, where customers pay more to receive a portion of their electricity from wind generation.
Berry says one problem might be a portion of Wind Watts bills going towards the city’s tree planting program. She suggested the option of letting customers choose to make a donation through utility billing.
Berry says Wind Watts has six commercial and 506 residential customers.
