The installation of ninety solar panels that will be used as a supplemental heating source for the public indoor pool at the Lawson Heights Civic Centre in Saskatoon began today. They’re expected to be operational by mid-December and will provide roughly twenty-five percent of the energy required to heat the pool at the civic facility.
Partial funding for the project was provided by the Provincial and Federal governments with the balance paid through a loan to Saskatoon that will be retired over eleven years using money saved through reduced energy consumption. The new panels also reduce greenhouse gas emissions by roughly 111 tonnes per year.
Once the Lawson Heights project is complete, the city of Saskatoon plans to begin a similar project at the Harry Bailey Aquatic Centre.
