Three schools in Wales to get solar panels as part of energy project
Three schools in Wales will be among the first buildings to have solar rooftop panels installed as part of project to expand community owned renewable energy in Wales, supported by the Welsh Government.
The panels, which will produce two megawatts of electricity, will be installed by solar cooperative Egni, after being awarded nearly £2.35m in funding.
Wales’ drive towards local ownership of renewable energy is in response to the climate emergency and comes amid concerns of escalating living costs and global energy security.
The project overall is projected to save 3,700 tonnes of carbon and realise significant savings on electricity bills.
Egni, which will own and manage the panels, has already successfully connected solar panels producing 4.3MW of energy to almost 90 buildings in Wales.
The Welsh Government has committed to expanding renewable energy generation by public bodies and community groups in Wales by over 100 megawatts by 2026.
