Answer

Previously, the Ministry of Education (the Ministry) targeted 80 to 100 installs over the 2026/27 summer school holiday period. Now, the delivery approach covers all 500 eligible schools to drive cost efficiencies and maximise programme reach over the 3-year delivery period. The full list of schools is available on the Ministry’s website here: https://www.education.govt.nz/education-professionals/schools-year-0-13/property/solar-panels-school The Ministry anticipates contracts to be awarded in December 2026.
