ONE of the biggest nonresidential solar projects will be undertaken by the City of Sydney over the next five years, with solar panels installed on more than 30 council owned properties. The City of Sydney's $12 3 million project will cut greenhouse gas emissions by about 3000 tonnes a year and supply enough electricity to power the equivalent of 400 households. "The city is delivering on its commitment to reduce carbon emissions by 70% and produce 25% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030", said Allan Jones, the council's international energy and climate change expert. The project will install 2000kWs of solar panels, dwarfing the current biggest nonresidential installation at the University of Queensland.
