New South Wales’ Tweed Shire Council will have more than doubled its solar energy capacity by the end of this year\u00a0 – and there’s more to come.<\/p>\n

Council says a number of new solar projects will be completed by the time 2018 draws to a close.<\/p>\n

” The biggest project will be a 165kW rooftop solar installation at Tweed Regional Aquatic Centres in Murwillumbah \u2013 alongside ground-mounted and rooftop solar at water and wastewater facilities,” says<\/a> Council. “It means by the end of 2018 we\u2019ll be generating an estimated 1,300 MWh\/pa of solar power.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Council will have 780kW of solar capacity in place across 15 facilities by December 31, which will supply the equivalent to 6% of its electricity needs. Some of its other existing solar-enabled sites include Murwillumbah Art Gallery (99.18kW) and Murwillumbah Works Depot and Building C (91.26kW).<\/p>\n

As well as significantly reducing emissions, these projects will provide electricity cost savings close to $200,000 annually – and that’s good news for ratepayers. From 1 July 2016 \u2013 30 June 2017, Council consumed an estimated 22,776 MWh of electricity across its 390 sites, at a cost of $3.9 million. 78% of Council\u2019s carbon footprint for that period was attributed to emissions from its mains grid electricity use.<\/p>\n

50% Solar Electricity Target<\/h2>\n

Tweed Shire Council isn’t stopping here – a Renewable Energy Action Plan<\/a> ( REAP) published last year envisions more projects that will result in 25% of\u00a0 its electricity being self-generated from solar panels by 2022, and 50% through the addition of more solar along with battery storage by 2025.<\/p>\n

Tweed Shire Council also recently joined the Cities Power Partnership<\/a>, a Climate Council initiative. Councils joining the partnership pledge to take five key actions across renewable energy, efficiency, transport and collaboration to tackle climate change.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It is the primary responsibility of local government to keep the community safe and we must be united in this,” says<\/a> Tweed Shire Mayor Katie Milne.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

100 councils across Australia have joined the Partnership, representing more than 11 million Australians. Tweed Shire Council is also a signatory to the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy, an international alliance of more than 9,000 cities and local governments around the world advocating for voluntary action to combat climate change.<\/p>\n

Councils also encourages the uptake of solar by residents and businesses in the Tweed Shire region. More than 30% of households within its boundaries have installed solar panels<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tweed Shire is located in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, adjacent to the border with Queensland. It has a population of just under 95,000 and covers 1,309 km2.<\/sup><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
