Project Renewable Energy for Livelihood and Youth, an endeavor supported by the European Union, energized two remote island schools in northern Cebu through solar power.
The project team completed the installation of the solar power system with the help of school officials and community leaders amid COVID-19-related protocols.
“We look forward to the time when the students are able to come to school physically and experience how their learning conditions have improved. For now, the fully energized schools are helping teachers prepare the modules that their students need,” said RELY project director Sabine Schacknat of lead implementor Sequa gGmbH.
Schacknat thanked the community for helping the project team amid quarantine restrictions during the recent turnover of the solar energization projects at Carnaza Elementary School and at Carnaza National High School in Daanbantayan in Cebu,
Under the project, Carnaza Elementary School is being powered by a PV system that has the capacity to generate 21,120 watts-peak of electricity. Project RELY’s implementing partners are Vivant Foundation and Process Bohol.
