Lismore’s floating solar farm while under construction | Image: Ciel & Terre<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

The opening of Australia\u2019s largest floating solar farm is serving as a backdrop for the welcoming of dozens of councils throughout Australia to the Climate Council’s Cities Power Partnership.<\/p>\n

Councils joining the partnership pledge to take five key actions across renewable energy, efficiency, transport and collaboration. Power Partners get free access to a knowledge hub to assist with projects and analytics tools to help track emissions, energy and costs savings. Partners are also “buddied” with other participating councils.<\/span><\/p>\n

Among those to recently join the “coalition of the willing” are Sydney, Brisbane, Darwin and Cairns councils. The new members take the number of councils participating to seventy, representing 7.5 million Australians and more than 250 towns and cities.<\/p>\n

The full list of Power Partners can be viewed here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited to see a record number of councils jumping on board with the Cities Power Partnership,\u201d said<\/a> Climate Councillor Professor Will Steffen. \u201cAs the tier of government that\u2019s closest to the community, local councils have the power to genuinely transform the way we generate and use energy.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Climate Council encourages residents of local government areas yet to join the program to complete a brief form<\/a> and they’ll then give those councils a nudge.<\/p>\n

“The more nominations we get from locals, the easier it is for us to get councils onboard.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lismore Floating Solar Project Complete<\/h2>\n

Today’s event also saw the official opening of a 99kW floating solar panel array in Lismore, NSW; a project backed by Cities Power Partnership member Lismore Council and Lismore Community Solar.<\/p>\n

The largest operating floating solar farm in Australia currently, the system has been installed at the East Lismore Sewage Treatment Plant and will supply approximately 12% of the facility\u2019s electricity requirements.<\/p>\n

Construction of the facility<\/a> began in November last year and is the second project under the Lismore Community Solar initiative. The first solar power system was a 99kW array<\/a> installed on the roof of the Goonellabah Sports & Aquatic Centre.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur community is passionate about sustainability, driving the development of our new floating solar farm which we hope will inspire other councils to find local climate solutions,\u201d said Lismore City Mayor Cr Isaac Smith.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lismore’s Renewable Energy Master Plan sets a goal of Council self-generating all its electricity from renewable energy sources by 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
