The Oshawa Power and Utilities Corporation is taking to the rooftops of the city in its quest for renewable energy.

The OPUC, in partnership with The City of Oshawa, is investigating installing solar panels on the rooftops of City-owned buildings. Rooftops include that of the Donevan Recreation Complex, General Motors Centre, Legends Centre, South Oshawa Community Centre and three firehalls.

The project was inspired by the OPUC's first solar panel system on top of its own rooftop located in downtown Oshawa at 100 Simcoe Street South.

"OPUC is pleased to diversify its energy offerings through this green energy generation initiative while enhancing shareholder value," says OPUC chairman of the board Irv Harrell.
