The Renewable Energy Project is part of the Geelong ecoCHALLENGE and helps the City work towards a smaller environmental footprint by reducing energy use and greenhouse emissions.

The City of Greater Geelong has installed a wind turbine on the shores of Corio Bay and added solar panels to the roofs of some of our buildings to generate our own clean and renewable energy. We do this to reduce pollution, help others understand the benefits of clean renewable energy, and help make a better environment.

Watt's This?

The Watt is a standard international unit to measure the rate of energy conversion. It's unit symbol is W.

1 Watt (W) is a unit of electricity at a given moment
1 Kilowatt (KW) = 1000 Watts
1 Megawatt (MW) = 1,000,000 Watts
1 kWh = 1 Kilowatt produced constantly for 1 hour

Some Examples
Incandescent light bulb= 25 - 100 watts
Energy saving equivalent light bulb= approx 5 - 30 watts
A person walking up a flight of stairs= approx 200 watts
An electric heater= approx 1 kilowatt
A family car= approx 100 kilowatts
A train locomotive engine= approx 3 - 5 megawatts
