An Offaly Councillor says schools can create their own energy with the scheme.

Schools in the midlands will be able to save over a thousand euro with the extension of a solar energy scheme.

A select number of primary and secondary schools in Offaly took part in the 'Solar for Schools Programme' pilot last year

Up to 6 kilowatt PV installations were provided for school roofs-which is the power of 14 solar panels.

The scheme will now be extended to schools in Laois and Westmeath-with applications opening on November 11th.

Fine Gael Councillor for Offaly John Clendennen, says schools can create their own energy with the scheme:
