1 hour ago | 38 views

The New Zealand Government has selected 500 schools nationwide to receive solar panel installations under a $30 million Solar on Schools programme aimed at reducing energy costs, emissions, and improving energy resilience. The initiative, funded by EECA and the Ministry of Education, targets schools facing energy insecurity or scheduled for boiler replacements, with installations planned over three years and additional energy management systems and batteries for some schools. This programme not only supports local businesses and industry growth but also provides schools with ongoing financial savings and educational opportunities in renewable energy.
