Solar on schools - draft solar action plan for London

  • Reference: 2018/0944
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 17 May 2018
I welcome your support for more solar photovoltaics (PV) on public buildings, including schools, in your draft Solar Action Plan for London, and the funding that you have already allocated to schools through your London Community Energy Fund. However, available data ( https://www.london.gov.uk/press-releases/assembly/schools-lacking-solar) indicates that only one in fifteen schools in London have taken advantage of solar PV. Will you therefore look at an additional objective supporting solar on schools in your final Solar Action Plan?
