329 (2026). Scott Willis to the Minister of Education: What written advice, if any, has the Minister received from the Ministry of Education on opportunities for increased use of solar energy on school buildings by title and date?

Hon Erica Stanford: I received the following briefing regarding opportunities for increased use of solar energy on school buildings: • 10 October 2025 - Information Update: School Energy – Update on Solar Energy • 22 October 2025 - Briefing: Establishing Programme Settings for the Solar on Schools Programme • 5 November 2025 - Information Update: Establishing Programme Settings for Solar on Schools. This answer does not cover members of my office who receive a large amount of material every week. Asking them to collate that material would require substantial collation and research and prevent them from undertaking their substantive roles.
