Center Fontauna produces solar power
Disentis GR - Eine vollständig integrierte Solaranlage auf dem Center Fontauna produziert nun auch Solarstrom. Das Sport- und Kulturzentrum will so pro Jahr bis zu 600‘000 Kilowattstunden erzeugen, das Doppelte des eigenen Stromverbrauchs. Repower besitzt und betreibt die Anlage.
The Fontauna Center has been undergoing renovations since May 2022. The work should be completed next year. The integrated solar system on the roof and façade of the sports and cultural center has already been put into operation. According to a statement from Repower, it will generate around 600,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year over an area of 3,300 square meters. This corresponds to twice the Center Fontauna’s own consumption.
Repower is the owner and operator of the plant. The Graubünden-based electricity supplier used local businesses for the installation.
Clemens Berther sees the system as a showcase project for environmentally conscious action. “The successful integration of the solar system in the Center Fontauna marks an important step for the sustainable development of our municipality,” the deputy mayor and president of the Disentis building commission is quoted as saying in the press release.
