An island home to an environmental education centre used for student camps is now powered by the largest renewable energy system built on a state school site.
North Keppel (Konomie) Island, is home to an environmental education centre run by the Queensland government.
About 2,500 students stay on the island for school camp each year, where they learn about climate change, First Nations culture and sustainable living.
The government has spent $1.4 million to build the largest renewable energy system on a state school site.
The system includes 258 solar panels, 36 lithium phosphate batteries, a wind turbine and back up generator.
Solar Hybrid head of engineering, Gino Fiocco, whose company built the system, said it would produce 450 kilowatt hours of energy on an average day.
Mr Gill said the new energy system would be used as an educational resource to teach students about renewables.
