Innovative solar park in Gaweinstal: Horse food and green electricity combined!
In Gaweinstal, an innovative Agri-Photovoltaic system is created that combines both agricultural areas and the production of solar power. This system has the potential to produce up to five megawatts of electricity under ideal conditions and supplies the 70 branches of the drugstore chain DM drugstore market with sustainable solar power. The operating company, IMWind, already secured the entire electricity production for the next 15 years through a long -term delivery contract, which will significantly support the economic planning of the connected companies. According to orf.at , around 800 people are currently employed on the 14 construction sites, whereby 13 of these construction sites are distributed in Austria.
progress with top technology
In bright weather, climate protection minister Leonore Gewessler and Mayor Johannes Berthold presented the current progress of the construction work. "This AGRI PV system is a prime example of successful double use," said Gewessler. The system combines state -of -the -art photovoltaic technologies with ecological agricultural practices, so that the plants growing under the modules serve to produce feed for surrounding horse molars. This is a remarkable method to use surfaces efficiently and at the same time minimize ecological footprint, as is from boerse-express.com
The technology used includes an advanced tracker system that optimally aligns the PV modules to the sun to maximize efficiency. With an annual yield of 6,200 megawatt hours, the system could save around 3,200 tons of CO2 per year, which corresponds to the emission emission of around 1,300 cars. The commissioning of the Agri-Photovoltaic system is planned for the fourth quarter of 2024. Imwind also plans extensive investments in the expansion of renewable energies and thus reaffirms the goal of switching completely to renewable energy sources in Austria by 2030.
