Since SODC switched on the new solar panels on Thame Leisure Centre’s roof a year ago today (20 May 2025) the 150 panels have created almost 70,000 kWh of electricity – the equivalent of the electricity used by 26 average UK homes over the same period.
Good news as the world faces rising energy prices. The panels – which were funded by the Swimming Pool Support Fund - have produced around 20 per cent of the leisure centre’s electricity needs, helping to reduce its running costs, as well as its carbon emissions.
