Source: Victoria. Acting Premier. Media Release
"Acting Premier and Minister for Climate Change John Thwaites launched Victoria’s Solar in Schools program which offers grants of up to $15,000 for schools and community organisations to become solar powered. Mr Thwaites said the Solar in Schools initiative would cut schools’ energy bills by $75,000 per year and cut greenhouse pollution by more than 1000 tonnes per year, which is the equivalent of taking 230 cars permanently off our roads or saving 20 million black balloons of greenhouse gas."
