Solar Project

Townsville Catholic Education's Solar Project is a major step towards a 100% renewable energy future for our schools. The third stage of the project commenced at the end of 2020, which will see over 4,000kWs of solar panels and 7,000kWs of Tesla battery storage installed across the Diocese. This project has allowed our Catholic schools to include practical real-life examples of renewable energy generation to be included in students' curriculum. Students are learning about our collective responsibility to care for creation through sustainable projects and battery storage. They are seeing firsthand how the decisions we make today have an impact on the future. 

Sustainable Townsville promotes, supports and encourages projects and initiatives from local businesses, individuals and organisations.
