Baumit is based on green electricity: new PV systems in Peggau and Wotsping active!

Peggau, Österreich - The Baumit GmbH has taken a significant step towards sustainable energy production. The newly installed photovoltaic system on the roof of your work in Peggau, Styria, is now ready for operation. According to Manfred Tisch, the technical managing director of Baumit, the facility was technically completed in December 2023, but due to long waiting times at the network operator and new regulatory requirements, among other things by the cyber security guideline (NIS 2), the connection could initially be implemented. This delay caused the originally planned investment costs to rose sharply, and it was necessary to buy the non -generated electricity. The commissioning now generates 25 percent of the electricity requirement at the Peggau location, which corresponds to the energy consumption of around 100 households, APA-OTS .

In addition to the system in Peggau, Baumit also put a new photovoltaic system into operation in Wopfing. This comprises 1,030 photovoltaic cells with a module area of ​​around 1,800 m² and a total output of 350 kW. This provides Friedrich Schmid Innovation Center and the adjacent Viva research park with 350 mWh of green electricity annually, which means savings of around 120 tons of CO2 per year. The investment costs amounted to a total of 350,000 euros. "We are making a contribution to the energy transition," said Tisch, who emphasized that this was an important step to be up to 2050 climate, as Baumit.at reported.
