Energy

• Graphs showing the energy use and solar produced at five main Council facilities (refer to below graphs). Note: Emissions savings based on reducing reliance on grid-supplied energy at an emissions factor of 0.67kg/CO2-e/kWh (National-greenhouse-accounts-factors-august- 2017).

• LED light changeover at Civic Centre and Library for external security lights has commenced. The light changeover includes outdoor lighting but excludes in-ground lights and will result in significant energy savings overnight when solar is unavailable.
