Sustainability Coordinator Travis Rob says solar panels atop the public works garage are now connected to the power grid.
The 52 panels, generating 10 kilowatts, will send the power back to the grid and collect 80 per kilowatt hour on the power sold over the next 20 years.
Three other projects at the Memorial Sports Centre, daycare centre and water treatment plant will be connected in the next couple of weeks.
