Schools Clean Energy Technology Fund

The $44.6 million Schools Clean Energy Technology Fund demonstrates our commitment to renewable electricity and will reduce school’s energy costs and carbon emissions.

Funding is for the installation of new energy technologies in public schools over the next 4 years, including more rooftop solar systems. This investment supports the existing Solar Schools Program and the trial Virtual Power Plant battery program.

The Schools Clean Energy Technology Fund (SCETF) will provide STEM learning opportunities for students and teachers to gain new skills and understand the benefits of renewable energy and technologies.

The first stage of round 3 will support schools to reduce energy use with LED lighting upgrades.

The second stage of round 3 will help staff better manage energy use through a sustainability tool, currently in development.

Applications for round 3 have closed.

Together, we can contribute to a healthier planet and make a difference.

The fund aligns with the Western Australian Climate Change Policy.

For more information about the launch of the fund, read the minister's announcement.
