More than €17,000 in financial aid has been distributed to residents of the Tac-Cawla housing estate.
120 residents were presented with cheques by the Minister for Gozo Dr Justyne Caruana, with the financial aid generated from the accumulated credits from the photovoltaic panels located on the roofs of 15 blocks of apartments installed by Ministry for Gozo.
Dr Caruana explained to the residents that work on a new environmentally friendly block is expected to commence next year.
She said that the Ministry is working to install more panels on public buildings and mentioned how the Ministry for Gozo is part of the SHERPA project, where public buildings have been identified to be turned into energy efficient buildings that will become an example and a model for for other projects, including those in the private sector.
Altogether there are 231 panels set on metallic structures spread over fifteen blocks of apartments. The panels generate up to 69.3 kW.
