The focus area renewable energy looks at opportunities for installation of low cost, low emission energy generation and storage. In the first 3 years of the program, this focus area will specifically work on:

• Onsite solar for council facilities
• Collaboration on renewable energy electricity procurement
  
  

It is anticipated that these projects can reduce emissions by more than 200,000 tCO2e.

Current projects:

The Western Sydney Energy Program is working with participating councils to scope the option of procuring a renewable electricity power purchase agreement.
