Council will make payments over 15 years for electricity generated by the system and the cost of the electricity will be less than what Council is paying for power sourced from the mains grid. After the 15-year period, Council will own the system.<\/p>\n<p>Kenjarhy Solar was founded as a vehicle for Indigenous Communities to gain employment and training opportunities in the renewable energy sector and is one of the only Indigenous owned solar companies in Australia.<\/p>\n<p>The aquatic centre project isn&#8217;t the first solar power system Council has had installed, but it is the largest by quite a margin.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Over the years, the council has installed a number of solar arrays on community buildings around town. There\u2019s a large one on the works depot roof and at a number of the council child care centres, and at each of those facilities there\u2019s been major savings,\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/yoursay.orange.nsw.gov.au\/news\/news_feed\/aquatic-centres-new-solar-panels-ready-to-lower-oranges-greenhouse-impact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> Mayor Reg Kidd.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Works Depot array is a 35-kilowatt system consisting of 140 solar panels that saved Council $5,000 in electricity costs in the first quarter after it was installed. Savings from that system are reinvested in new energy programs.<\/p>\n<p>Other energy efficiency and emissions reductions actions Orange City Council has been undertaking include upgrading to variable speed drives at its water filtration plant and changing lighting to LEDs at the sewage treatment plant. Lighting is also being replaced with energy saving fittings during routine maintenance on council buildings.<\/p>\n<p>Orange City Council is also a signatory to the Climate Council&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatecouncil.org.au\/cpp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cities Power Partnership<\/a>, which provides local government bodies access to a national knowledge hub to assist with the implementation of emissions reductions projects.<\/p>\n<p>Businesses and households in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/installers\/orange\/\">Orange<\/a> have also been switching on to solar power. Orange&#8217;s postcode, 2800, is home to more than 2,500 small-scale <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/solar101.html\">solar power systems<\/a> with a collective capacity just north of 11.5MW.<\/p>\n<p><i>Trivia: The Orange Local Government Area is 290 square kilometres and has an urban population of nearly 40,000.
