years
Education Minister Dr
Tony Buti today announced that another 60 Western Australian public schools
will go greener by enhancing their energy efficiency under the Cook
Government's Schools Clean Energy Technology Fund.
Under round three funding,
WA public schools were invited to apply for funds to install light emitting
diode (LED) lights to reduce their energy costs and carbon emissions.
Schools from across the State
applied, with 32 regional schools and 28 metropolitan schools announced as successful
recipients.
The investment will
increase the number of WA public
schools to receive a contribution from the $44.6 millionSchools Clean Energy Technology Fund to
240 over four years.
The initiative also
expands on the existing Solar Schools Program, Synergy's Virtual Power Plant
Program, and general maintenance replacement of lighting in schools with LED.
Comments attributed to Education Minister Dr Tony Buti:
"I am proud to
announce that another 60 WA public schools will be supported to reduce their
energy use as part of the State's broader vision for a low carbon future.
"It is important
that we continue investing in clean energy solutions to reduce overall energy
costs for schools, lower their impact on the environment, and provide a more
sustainable future.
"These initiatives also
provide valuable opportunities for students and teachers to observe, discuss,
and understand the benefits of renewable energy and technologies in real time."
