“Over its lifetime, the project is expected to save up to 734 tonnes of carbon emissions and contribute an estimated £25,100 to a fund for the benefit of the local community.
Solar panels were installed on the roofs of Stratford, Beckton Globe and East Ham libraries, and funded by Repowering Finance, a non-profit business.
Community Energy Newham, the co-operative established for the project, then raised the funds from local residents to buy the panels powering the libraries.
The next phase will involve panels for the Godwin Junior and St Stephen’s Primary schools, where the installation is expected to finish before 2028.”
