Six more primary schools maintained by Gloucestershire County Council are set to reap the benefits of solar panel installations. The chosen schools were selected following the successful completion of a pilot scheme.
These solar panels are projected to generate an average annual saving of £4,360 per school and are expected to last over 20 years, subject to maintenance. The pilot scheme, which concluded in August 2024, involved Nailsworth CofE Primary, Harewood Junior in Tuffley, St John’s Primary in Cheltenham, Ashchurch Primary in Tewkesbury, Stow-on-the-Wold Primary, and Woolaston Primary in Lydney.
Next six Primary Schools to get Solar Panel Installations
- Castle Hill Primary School in Brockworth
- Eastington Primary School in Churchend
- Holy Trinity Primary School in Cheltenham
- Northleach Primary School in Northleach
- Soudley School in Soudley
- Tredworth Junior School in Gloucester
The project will see the panels installed in tranches to manage the process. This project is due to take place from March 2025 to March 2027. The council aims to achieve a carbon-neutral county by 2045 and reduce emissions by 80% by 2030. Investing in low carbon technology, such as solar panels will help meet these targets.
