Manuka Tennis Club is very proud to be the ACT's first carbon-neutral tennis club! 😀🎾

The Club's recently installed battery and solar system is great for the environment and has enabled the eradication of our electricity bills!!

Speaking with the Energy and Emissions Reduction Minister, Shane Rattenbury MLA, our Club President, Bill Brummitt, noted that the biggest charge on our electricity bills was for lighting the courts at night. "....With the battery we can run a full night of tennis off the battery and still have 2 percent left at the end. Once the battery is fully charged in the daytime, we're feeding electricity back into the grid."

Win/Win !!! 😀💚

The Manuka Tennis Club acknowledges and is grateful for the funding and support provided by Tennis ACT and the ACT Government. Special thanks to Lighting and Energy Conservation Australia (LECA) and Light up Sports for installation of the system.
