Quick Win project No. 17: Mansfield Kindergarten, Vic
Mansfield Kindergarten is a not for profit, community run organisation that has been providing quality early childhood education to our local families for the past 65 years. For many, the kindergarten is an introduction to the local community and there are very few in our small town who have not had direct or indirect involvement. The kindergarten’s program has a strong emphasis on the natural environment, with a highlight being the 4 year old Earth Kinder program. The provision of solar panels on the kindergarten building will greatly compliment the environmental and sustainable introduction given to our young students and families and will assist with the long term financial viability of this important organisation.

Approx* CO2 avoided to date |
Dollar value of achievement |
| At Mansfield Kinder | 8.13 kW | 19.94 MWh | 19.94 t | $12,750 |
| At subsequent projects | 3.56 kW | 1.40 MWh | 1.40 t | $3,964 |
| Total | 11.69 kW | 21.34 MWh | 21.34 t | $16,714 |
Switch on date: 10/11/17.
Number of days in operation: 591.
* Since the amount of CO2 avoided is highly dependent on the fuel source used for local grid electricity, and since each CORENA project is in a different location, we have used 1MWh = 1 tonne as a rough approximation across all projects.
Project 18 is now fully funded – Thank you!
