Oxford support center to install solar panels. It’s a council green energy project reducing carbon emissions.
Fire stations and libraries are also getting upgrades, and family centers are included, too. The council wants a greener Oxfordshire, and everyone can help with this goal.
The Oxford center’s panels will save money. They will create about £2,000 of power yearly. This project aims to cut carbon emissions, as it should remove 300 tonnes of CO2 yearly.
That’s like one car driving 18,000 kilometers, or like the power used by 4784 homes each year. These changes are part of a larger plan, helping the council move toward net zero.
The council aims to cut its carbon footprint. Battery storage will help capture solar power, which will reduce fossil fuel use for everyday tasks. Heating and cooking will then use less fossil fuel.
The Oxford center helps adults in many ways. It supports people with various needs, including those with learning disabilities, aging health, and dementia.
The Headington building offers diverse activities. These include yoga, walks, a film club, a lunch club, and pottery classes. Blue Badge assessments also happen here.
Next, Bicester’s center will get improvements. They’ll install a heat pump and new windows there, and loft insulation is also planned for Bicester. These upgrades will happen later in the year.
