Solar power

We are working to cover council-owned roofs with solar panels. 

Solar panels will help reduce energy bills, lower carbon emissions and contribute to the decarbonisation of the energy grid.

Solar power from public buildings

We’re committed to covering the roofs of all possible council-owned buildings with solar panels as we continue to increase the solar generation capacity in the borough.

We have completed projects on:

• Lea View Community Hall
• Haggerston Depot
• Kingshold Community Centre
• West Reservoir Centre
• Hackney Lido
• Hackney Marshes Centre
• Queensbridge Leisure Centre
• Concorde Centre
• Webb Estate Community Hall

We are in the process of finalising the installation of up to one megawatt (MW) of solar clean energy generated on council-owned buildings.

The final projects to be completed by the end of 2024 are:

• Wrens Park Community Centre
• Hackney Public Mortuary

Solar power from residential buildings

Hackney Light and Power is working with a specialist energy consultancy to install solar panels on our estates from 2024 to 2025. 

The aim is to deliver a pilot project to produce one MW of solar-generated electricity on the roofs of London Borough of Hackney residential buildings.
