Kent County Council action
Kent County Council is committed to environmental projects and
using renewal energy in its schools and buildings.
These projects include three biomass boilers, a ground source
heat pump, solar photovoltaic and solar thermal panels and wind
turbines. Most of the projects have been completed in Kent schools,
providing a good educational opportunity for pupils as well as
generating some free energy to help lower costs.
We currently have 341 eco
schools on Kent. These are made up of:
- 2 green flag ambassador schools
- 67 green flag schools
- 136 silver award schools
- 136 bronze award schools
In addition to our eco schools, we have invested in 32
renewable energy projects and 60 energy and water
efficiency projects to date.
