At just 12km<sup>2<\/sup>, it&#8217;s the 7th smallest council in terms of land area in New South Wales and is home to around 58,964. It&#8217;s a well-to-do area &#8211; among its suburbs are Double Bay, Point Piper and of course, Woollahra.<\/p>\n<p>Council has been active in emissions reduction activities for many years and in 2019 became one of close to a hundred other local governments across Australia that have declared a climate emergency.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the actions Woollahra Municipal Council has taken to be certified carbon neutral by Climate Active include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Installing solar hot water systems at six Council sites.<\/li>\n<li>Installing rooftop solar power systems at five Council sites.<\/li>\n<li>Lighting upgrades at all large Council sites and public amenity blocks, plus sensor installation for the latter<\/li>\n<li>A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Mooree Solar Farm<\/li>\n<li>Any remaining emissions are offset through the purchase of carbon credits generated by an (unnamed) solar power project.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAt Woollahra Council we know that Australia\u2019s carbon footprint is among the world\u2019s highest, and while certainly a complex issue, it is something that we are committed to tackling at a local level,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.woollahra.nsw.gov.au\/news\/articles\/we_are_officially_carbon_neutral!\"> said<\/a> Mayor of Woollahra Susan Wynne.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"http:\/\/energyatlas.iea.org\/\">IEA Atlas of Energy<\/a>, Australia ranked 16th in the world for fuel combustion emissions in 2018. On a per capita basis, we ranked 9th.<\/p>\n<h2>Woollahra Council&#8217;s Solar Efforts<\/h2>\n<p>Council&#8217;s five solar installations are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Murray Rose Pool &#8211; 10kW<\/li>\n<li>Cooper Park Community Hall &#8211; 4.7kW<\/li>\n<li>Hugh Latimer Centre &#8211; 4.7kW<\/li>\n<li>Fletcher Street Depot &#8211; 25kW<\/li>\n<li>Quarry Street Depot &#8211; 9.9kW<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8230; for a total capacity of 54.3kW, so not a huge amount. These systems were installed between 2011 and 2016, but more solar power on its way.<\/p>\n<p>Council is also encouraging residents to install solar panels on their homes and it looks like a lot more encouragement is needed. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/location\/woollahra-2025-nsw\/\">Woollahra, solar panels<\/a> are a much less common sight than in some of the &#8220;battler&#8221; burbs of Sydney, with just 117 installations. Across the local government area, only around 7% of compatible dwellings have solar power systems installed according to the Australian Photovoltaic Institute (APVI), compared to a 23% average across New South Wales.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trivia<\/strong> &#8211; among the PV systems in Woollahra Municipal Council&#8217;s area is one at the the Point Piper home of former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull. Mr. Turnbull had a 14kW rooftop solar system and 14kwh of battery storage as at September 2017. According to our figures for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/location\/point-piper-2027-nsw\/\">solar in Point Piper<\/a>, the system makes up close to 3% of PV capacity that has been installed in postcode 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sydney&#8217;s Woollahra Municipal Council says it is third local government in New South Wales to attain net-zero emissions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":42569,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[678],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-42568","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-solar-battery-news","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Solar Energy Helps Woollahra Council Achieve Carbon Neutrality<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Sydney&#039;s Woollahra Municipal Council says it is third local government in New South Wales to attain net-zero emissions.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/woollahra-carbon-solar-mb1657\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Solar Energy Helps Woollahra Council Achieve Carbon Neutrality\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Sydney&#039;s Woollahra Municipal Council says it is third local government in New South Wales to attain net-zero emissions.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/woollahra-carbon-solar-mb1657\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"SolarQuotes Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SolarQuotes\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-08-25T20:43:01+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/woollahra-solar.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"630\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Michael Bloch\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/woollahra-carbon-solar-mb1657\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/woollahra-carbon-solar-mb1657\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Michael Bloch\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/66afd571aa00c2e442f0192ebac2f6f1\"},\"headline\":\"Solar Energy Helps Woollahra Council Achieve Carbon Neutrality\",\"datePublished\":\"2020-08-25T20:43:01+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/woollahra-carbon-solar-mb1657\/\"},\"wordCount\":461,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/woollahra-carbon-solar-mb1657\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/woollahra-solar.jpg\",\"articleSection\":[\"General Solar &amp;
