Orange Regional Airport’s new solar power system won’t be a particularly big ‘un, but every panel and every clean kilowatt-hour counts.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the NSW Government announced it would kick in $1.5 million towards a $2 million upgrade at the airport. Among the improvements will be a rooftop solar power system, which Orange City Council says will be one of Council’s biggest solar arrays.<\/p>\n

So how big will it be? A total capacity figure wasn’t provided, but Council says 200 solar panels will be installed. If 340 watt panels are used, which I’m told is a common capacity for new commercial solar installations<\/a> in Australia currently, that would work out to 68 kilowatts capacity. A system of that size could generate an estimated 107 megawatt-hours of electricity a year.<\/p>\n

There will also be new facilities to make use of some of the clean energy goodness the system cranks out; including workstations for business travellers, charging points, wi-fi, technology upgrades for the conference room and a large digital display screen. A new secure parking area and shelter over the airport entrance also feature among the upgrades.<\/p>\n

“The Orange airport is a crucial gateway to business and recreational travellers who come to the region,\u201d Mayor Reg Kidd said<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m delighted the council can work in partnership with the NSW Government to deliver this upgrade.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The airport is owned, operated and maintained by Council and is situated 15 kilometres south east of Orange<\/a>. The facility has been getting busier in recent years, with annual passenger numbers for 2017\/18 reaching 70,412; compared to 56,948 in 2016\/17.<\/p>\n

Among Council’s other PV installations is a 100kW system<\/a> that was installed at the Aquatic Centre back in 2017, and a 35-kilowatt system at the Works Depot operating under a power purchase agreement (PPA) arrangement.<\/p>\n

In addition to taking saving on electricity costs seriously, Council’s role in addressing the issue of climate change hasn’t gone ignored; with it also part of the Climate Council’s Cities Power Partnership<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As for solar energy elsewhere in the Orange City Council area, the Australia Photovoltaic Institute indicates<\/a> approximately 14.9% of dwellings had panels installed as at January this year (est. dwellings: 17050, installations: 2748). Commercial solar appears to be pretty popular, with an estimated 207 installations at that point between 10kW and 100kW capacity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
