School Infrastructure NSW

NSW schools make savings with commitment to sustainable energy

Release date: 05 August 2021

The NSW Government has announced the next steps for the Schools Renewable Energy Infrastructure Pilot Project that will explore the potential for schools to use solar PV panels and batteries to increase the schools use of renewable energy, cut power bills and reduce demand on the electricity network.

There are 25 schools across metropolitan and regional NSW that have so far been identified to participate in the pilot project. It’s estimated that the 25 schools will collectively generate approximately 2,400,000 kWh of electricity in the first full year of operation of the systems.

The learnings from this pilot will help inform the decision of a potential larger-scale implementation of these technologies in NSW public schools.
