30 Million for Solar Schools | Auckland News

The government’s pouring $30 million over three years to install solar panels on 500 schools—many already facing energy spikes or planning to replace gas boilers. Up to 150 schools will also get smart energy systems, and a few even get batteries for extra savings and resilience. Education Minister Erica Stanford says bigger schools could save $8,000 a year, while students get real-world lessons in clean energy. This follows a June “home energy fund” plan for homeowners, though renters’ access was questioned. It’s a big step toward a greener, more resilient future—one rooftop at a time.
