Hackney Council’s cabinet has approved plans to install roof-mounted solar panels at 500 council homes, providing discounted electricity to residents.

Hackney Council’s publicly-owned renewable energy services company, Hackney Light and Power, is celebrating the completion of its first roof installation.

Hackney Council is preparing to establish its own energy company powered in part by solar panels to be deployed on up to 15,000 council homes in an effort to drive the supply and generation of renewable energy.
