Powering our facilities with solar

Some of our most loved community and recreation buildings generate their own solar power. On-site solar reduces carbon emissions and saves money on electricity bills.

Over 800kW of solar panels are generating power at 38 Council facilities, including pools, libraries, early learning centres and offices. We will continue to install solar power on more facilities over time.

You can see which local facilities are solar-powered below.

If you would like any further details on Council's solar programme please email council@innerwest.nsw.gov.au marked to the attention of the sustainability team.
