Inauguration of a photovoltaic system at Limeco
The Limmattal regional utility Limeco has inaugurated a photovoltaic system with 624 solar panels on the roof of the wastewater treatment plant. This generates 252,000 kilowatt-hours of green electricity, primarily for the plant's own use and surpluses for the public grid.
According to a press release, the Limmattaler Regiowerk Limeco, based in Dietikon, has inaugurated a photovoltaic system on the roof of the wastewater treatment plant(ARA). According to the company, 624 solar panels with a capacity of 265.2 kilowatts peak generate as much solar power as 70 households with an annual consumption of 3,600 kilowatt hours.
On an area of 1220 square metres, 252,000 kilowatt hours of green electricity are to be produced, primarily for the ARA’s own requirements and the waste recycling plant. Any surplus energy will be fed into the public grid and made available to the general public.
The aim is to promote the expansion of renewable energy supply. Limeco plans to convert the supply of the entire Limmat Valley to CO2-neutral energy sources by 2050.
