Solar Power Hits Gisborne Schools | Auckland News

Thirteen Gisborne schools are set to power up with government-backed solar panels as part of a nationwide $30 million initiative to equip 500 schools across New Zealand. From 30kW systems at Gisborne Boys’ High to 10kW setups at Tolaga Bay Area School, these installations will slash energy bills—saving around $8,000 annually for larger schools—and boost resilience during grid outages. Beyond cost savings, the project empowers schools like Ngata Memorial College to keep learning uninterrupted during weather disruptions while reinforcing real-world sustainability lessons for students already using solar at home.
