All up, around 6,000 panels are now installed on carpark 3 and key buildings, which will generate equivalent to 19.3% of the electricity needs of Flinders\u2019 main campus.<\/p>\n<p>The University isn&#8217;t done yet &#8211; it has announced a new investment of $2.4 million into solar and other sustainability measures. Through an additional $1.45 million investment in solar energy over 2019-20, the campus will aim to generate equivalent to 33% of its electricity requirements from PV.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;This will see us roll out more panels across our roof tops, create solar covered walkways and shelters, and begin planning another large solar car port or ground-mounted solar array,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/news.flinders.edu.au\/blog\/2019\/04\/05\/2-4m-advances-flinders-towards-new-carbon-positive-goal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">said<\/a> Vice-Chancellor Professor Colin Stirling. &#8220;With all this energy generated on campus, we are also investigating energy storage&#8221;.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The University has a goal of achieving zero net emissions from electricity by 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Other sustainability-related initiatives will include installing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/ev-chargers\/public\/\">charging stations for electric cars<\/a>, decarbonising the University\u2019s fleet of vehicles, eliminating single-use plastics for food and beverages, and reducing, reusing and recycling more materials on campus. As well as reducing the university&#8217;s carbon footprint, the projects will provide opportunities for teaching and learning, plus foster partnerships with industry, government and the community.<\/p>\n<p>During the 2019-20 period, Flinders University will also develop a framework for its transition to being &#8220;carbon positive&#8221;<sup class='endnote'><a href='https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/flinders-university-solar-mb1004\/#en-29390-1' id='enref-29390-1' onclick='return hhEndnotes_show(29390)'>1<\/a><\/sup>, meaning it will seek to go beyond net zero carbon emissions and achieve an environmental benefit from its operations.<\/p>\n<p>In 2018 the university released its draft Sustainability Plan for consultation, which resulted in the contribution of 500 unique ideas.\u00a0 Among the top 10 insights from feedback was a desire that the university \u00a0keeps investing in renewable energy generation on campus and continues to capitalise on efficiency opportunities in energy and water management.<\/p>\n<p>The feedback has formed the basis of an action plan and map the institution&#8217;s path to 2025.
