☀️ 学校太阳能计划提升未来韧性
新西兰政府将投资3000万纽币，在全国最多500所学校安装太阳能板、电池和能源管理系统，以降低学校电费、增强能源安全、减少碳排放，并在紧急情况下为社区提供备用电力支持。
能源部长 Simeon Brown 和教育部长 Erica Stanford 表示，政府将投入 3000万纽币，在全国最多 500所学校 安装太阳能系统，以帮助学校节省开支、增强能源安全、降低电费并减少碳排放。
🌞 推动教育系统能源可负担性与韧性
Simeon Brown表示：
“学校太阳能计划标志着教育领域在提升能源可负担性和韧性方面迈出了重要一步。”
根据 Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority（能源效率与节约局）的初步测算：
- 太阳能系统预计可在 5至7年内收回成本
- 一套标准的 30千瓦（kW） 学校太阳能系统
- 每年可帮助学校节省最高约 8000纽币电费
🔋 配套电池与能源管理系统
除了安装太阳能板外，部分学校还将安装：
- 储能电池（Battery Systems）
- 能源管理系统（Energy Management Systems）
帮助学校：
- 更有效监测能源使用情况
- 提高能源利用效率
- 降低对国家电网的依赖
⚡ 年发电量相当于1500户家庭用电
该计划预计每年可产生：
10.1吉瓦时（GWh）电力
相当于：
👉 约1500户家庭一年的用电量。
💰 学校还可出售多余电力
学校将有机会把剩余电力回售给电网。
预计未来10年可创造：
约670万纽币收入
📚 为学校节省更多教育资源
教育部长 Erica Stanford表示：
“该计划将减轻学校持续增长的能源成本压力，并带来长期节约效果，让学校能够将更多资金投入其他教育重点项目。”
她指出：
“这项计划不仅能帮助学校降低能源成本、保护环境，也能让学生学习可再生能源及太阳能相关科学知识，可谓一举多得。”
🚨 紧急情况时可成为社区能源中心
政府表示，该计划还有一项重要作用：
在恶劣天气或紧急情况发生时，许多学校都会成为社区应急中心。
安装太阳能和电池后，部分学校可在停电情况下继续提供：
- 供暖
- 照明
- 基本公共服务
增强社区应急能力。
🏫 第一阶段重点学校
计划将分阶段实施。
首阶段将配合教育部此前宣布的：
学校柴油锅炉替换计划（School Diesel Boiler Replacement Programme）
优先考虑：
- 能源成本增长最快的学校
- 对能源支出压力最大的学校
预计首年将有：
80至100所学校
安装太阳能系统。
📅 实施时间
- 2026年开始实施
- 2028年完成全国推广
从 2026/27年夏季 开始，项目将扩大至更多学校。
目标是在每年暑假期间安装：
80至100套系统
以减少对教学活动的影响。

Schools will save money, have greater energy security, reduce school energy bills, and reduce their carbon emissions through a $30 million Government initiative to put solar panels on up to 500 schools across New Zealand, Energy Minister Simeon Brown and Education Minister Erica Stanford say.
“The solar on schools programme marks a significant step toward energy affordability and resilience across the education sector,” Mr Brown says.
“Early modelling by Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA) shows that solar panels are estimated to pay for themselves within five to seven years and a 30kW system – the standard size for a school – could save a school up to $8,000 a year in electricity bills.”
As well as solar panels and batteries, energy management systems will be installed at selected schools to help them monitor and manage their energy use more efficiently, further reducing costs and reliance on the grid.
“The programme will generate up to 10.1GWh of energy annually – the equivalent of powering 1,500 homes per year.
“Schools will also have options to sell energy back to the grid, generating an estimated $6.7 million in revenue over 10 years.”
Education Minister Erica Stanford says solar on schools will ease pressure on ongoing energy costs and create long-term savings that can be redirected to other school priorities.
“This will help schools continue to achieve great outcomes for students while reducing energy costs, helping the environment and educating school students about renewable resources and the science behind solar. It’s a win-win,” Ms Stanford says.
The programme will be rolled out in stages, with the first stage aligning with the Ministry of Education’s previously announced school diesel boiler replacement programme and aimed at schools that are facing the largest increases in energy costs. It is expected that between 80 and 100 schools will receive solar panels in the first year.
“Solar on schools can also support communities during emergencies. Many schools play a connecting role during severe weather and other emergencies. Solar and batteries at selected schools can help ensure that communities have a reliable source of electricity to provide heating, lighting, and other essential services when communities need it most.
“Schools use most of their energy during the day when the sun is shining and are prime candidates for solar. This initiative will provide smart solutions and the opportunity for Kiwi kids to be an exciting part of New Zealand’s energy future.”
Solar on schools will be rolled out starting this year and finishing in 2028. The programme will expand from summer 2026/27 to include more schools across the country, with a target to install 80 to 100 over the summer school holiday period.
