What written advice, if any, has the Minister received from the Ministry of Education on opportunities for increased use of solar energy on school buildings by title and date?

Answer

I received the following briefing regarding opportunities for increased use of solar energy on school buildings: • 10 October 2025 - Information Update: School Energy – Update on Solar Energy • 22 October 2025 - Briefing: Establishing Programme Settings for the Solar on Schools Programme • 5 November 2025 - Information Update: Establishing Programme Settings for Solar on Schools. This answer does not cover members of my office who receive a large amount of material every week. Asking them to collate that material would require substantial collation and research and prevent them from undertaking their substantive roles.
