The photovoltaic panels have already been linked to classroom computers to help pupils clock up their carbon savings. The 5.2 Kilowatt photovoltaic array cost a total of £33,498.15 and was funded by money from both the UK Government's Low Carbon Buildings Programme and the Energy for Sustainable Communities through Severn Wye Energy Agency.

LGA/EST conference 2009
Wednesday 21 January to Thursday 22 January 2009
The Local Government Association/Energy Saving Trust conference takes place between 21st - 22nd January. In the eye of the storm: councils at the heart of tackling climate change will focus on the opportunities and challenges in meeting targets set through the new performance framework.

Councils are uniquely placed to deliver change but cannot do it alone, so the conference will also look at mobilising communities and businesses to take action.
