NEW solar panels are to be installed on North Tyneside council buildings and homes to help save money.
North Tyneside Council and energy company E.ON have announced the joint project in a bid to save tenants money and reduce carbon emissions.
Around 3,000 homes will benefit, cutting tenants’ fuel bills by up to £120 a year, while the borough’s carbon footprint will fall by an estimated 75,000 tonnes over the project’s lifetime.
The council will use the income it receives through the initiative to set-up a Green Fund to offer energy efficiency improvements to the borough’s other council tenants.
Mayor Linda Arkley said: “The solar panels project is great news. It will lead to a substantial reduction in North Tyneside’s carbon footprint”.
Thomas Buss, head of microgeneration at E.ON, said: “We’ve all got a role to play in bringing down our carbon footprint and becoming more energy fit”.
