Presbyterian Ladies’ College (PLC) in Melbourne has signed a Corporate Renewable Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Flow Power, in order to achieve a 100 per cent net renewable outcome for electricity use.

The agreement will see PLC source its power from grid-scale off-site wind and solar farms, as well as from the installation of a large-scale, on-campus solar PV system. The 100 per cent net renewable electricity outcome will also see surplus renewable electricity shared by PLC with the grid.

Direct access to live energy readings and data on PLC’s energy usage and savings will also benefit students’ education. This data will be used as an innovative teaching tool and will be integrated into the curriculum across multiple disciplines.

PLC Principal, Dawn Clements, said the College is proud to be a leader in this space and is committed to reducing its carbon footprint.

“PLC has a long history of leadership and innovation and this project will help inspire and encourage our girls to continue to seek more sustainable solutions for future generations. We are very excited about the project and we look forward to doing our part in achieving a low emissions future.”

PLC School Captain, Imashi Iddawela, said students are thrilled about the College turning to renewables and are looking forward to learning more about the College’s use of renewable energy.

“Climate change is a major issue for our generation so we’re excited that our College is leading the way in making such a change.

“The real-time data will help us to better understand where our energy is coming from and how much we’re using. It will also help us adopt more energy efficient practices.”

Flow Power Managing Director, Matthew van der Linden, applauded PLC on its commitment to renewable energy and welcomed the opportunity for collaboration with the College Community throughout the project.

“PLC is showing real leadership in the renewable energy space. Schools are in a great position to take advantage of renewable power from both economic and teaching perspectives, and our partnership with PLC will showcase all that is possible.”

The College is expected to have achieved this goal with the completion of its infrastructure projects by 2020.
