St Clement Parish Hall has had an energy-efficiency overhaul.
It's replaced its heating system with an air source heat pump, put solar panels on the roof and added two car charging points.
Officials say it marks a significant step to reducing the carbon footprint and will shave thousands a year off its running costs.
Ahead of the installation of the new heating system, roof and cavity insulation was upgraded.
It's estimate the air source heat pump, put in by Isle Eco, will save the parish £3,000 per year.
The new 71kWp solar installation now generates locally produced renewable electricity, which can be used by the EV chargers or exported directly to the local grid for use in the community.
It's expected to generate enough power in a year for 100 trips around the earth in an EV.
The two new car charging points take the total on the Island’s Evolve public charging network to 122.
Constable Marcus Troy says it is rewarding to see the plans brought to life.
"By combining a new air source heat pump with improved insulation and a rooftop solar array, we have created a more efficient, lower-carbon building that will reduce energy use and operating costs for years to come."
The parish worked in partnership with Jersey Electricity. CEO Chris Ambler said hopes it inspires other parishes to do the same:
“It has been a pleasure to work with a Parish that is so committed to taking meaningful action, and we hope this project will encourage other parishes to look at how they too can reduce carbon emissions, lower running costs and play a part in generating more locally produced electricity.”
The new heating system has been funded by the Parish, while the solar installation and EV chargers have been funded by JE.
