project
overview
The Newcastle University PV project is a transformative initiative designed to enhance the University’s energy self-sufficiency through the comprehensive installation of photovoltaic (PV) systems across the entire campus. This ambitious project aims to reduce reliance on external energy sources, decrease carbon emissions, and promote sustainability.
The primary objectives of the project are to generate a significant portion of the University’s energy needs through on-site renewable sources, lower the University’s carbon footprint and position the University as a leader in renewable energy adoption within the higher education sector.
The project is split into three phases, with the intention of achieving a number of outcomes including the purchase of vested stock to deliver economies of scale, a focus on installation on high impact buildings, a collaborative partnership with the chosen installer and implementation of lessons learned as the project develops.
Through this project, the University aims to create a sustainable and energy-efficient campus, setting an example for other institutions and contributing positively to supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
