Three schools in Lewisham, selected for the Mayor of London’s Greener Schools pilot program, will share £226,000 in funding to enhance energy efficiency through solar panel installations. This initiative aims to cut energy costs, decrease carbon emissions, and allow savings to fund educational resources. A total of 35 schools across 16 London boroughs are involved in this pilot. The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, emphasized the investment’s dual benefit: financial savings for schools and contributions to local air quality improvement efforts as part of the city's net-zero goal by 2030.
This funding, secured by the council, will be used to install solar panels at the schools. This is expected to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions.
I am delighted to announce the first schools across the capital to benefit from my new Greener Schools initiative. This investment will help schools reduce their energy costs.
This funding will not only unlock significant environmental benefits but will also create opportunities for reinvestment into essential resources like books and technology.
Working with the boroughs, we've been able to leverage a further 9.6m to fund more vital projects in more schools.
