Solar power

Council-owned roof space

We’re committed to covering the council’s own roof space 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
  • Hackney Lido
  • Hackney Marshes Centre

We are mid-way through our programme of works to install up to 1MW of solar, clean energy generated on council-owned buildings in 2023 to 2024 with projects planned for:

  • Concorde Community Centre
  • Queensbridge Leisure Centre
  • Wrens Park Community Centre
  • Webb Estate Community Hall
  • Rose Lipman Building
  • Gascoyne Community Centre

As a result, the facilities save on their energy bills, maximise the reduction of carbon savings and contribute to decarbonisation of the energy grid.

Residential Solar

Hackney Light and Power is working with a specialist energy consultancy to develop a business case to develop and install solar PV on our estates in 2023 to 2024. The aim is to deliver a pilot project to produce 1MW of solar generation on the roofs of London Borough of Hackney residential buildings.
