Moorbad Harbach goes into the solar future with citizen participation!

Moorbad Harbach, Österreich - The municipality of Moorbad Harbach sets an ambitious project for the energy transition! A photovoltaic system on the roof of the building yard is being built under the innovative "sun participation model". The system, which has an output of 137 kWp, is expected to generate around 137,000 kWh of electricity annually. So about 42 households can be supplied and 43 tons of CO2 can be saved at the same time. Citizens have the opportunity to participate in the form of shares in the system and to benefit financially from the income. Mayor Margit Göll (ÖVP) emphasizes that the project not only makes a valuable contribution to achieving the climate goals, but also represents an attractive investment for the residents, as reported by the Meinbezirk.at page.

Details about the project

As part of this model, citizens can purchase modules for 400 euros, which are then exclusively rented to the EVN. The shareholders receive annual remuneration over a period of 13 years. Part of the electricity produced also serves to supply the building yard, which further strengthens the self -supply of the community. "As a community, we would like to make our contribution to reaching the climate goals," said Göll. In addition, Marc Anderl emphasizes that there are still many unused roof and open spaces in Lower Saxony communities that could be used for PV systems.

In addition, the charging infrastructure for electric vehicles is also improved in Moorbad Harbach. At the new charging station at a central location, such as the municipal office surrounded, the EVN provides 22 kW loading points. This technology enables you to organize the charging of electric vehicles spontaneously and without prior registration, so that citizens can easily switch to environmentally friendly mobility, as described on Goingelectric.de.
