Melbourne, VIC installs solar panels as part of Queen Victoria Market sustainability project
Melbourne, VIC Queen Victoria Market Solar Panels Project
The 1,550-panel installation will produce 900,000 kWh per year once it is completed in 2023. City officials expect the system to reduce annual carbon emissions by 1,300 tons and save AUD 100,000 per year in electrical costs. Solar panels represent part of a Precinct Renewal program for the market designed with feedback from vendors and shoppers. This long-term plan calls for more green spaces, on-site organic recycling, and stormwater collection.
