Sustainable energy solutions from Uri
With innovative products and services, the Uri energy service provider EWA-energieUri offers clever solutions for individual energy and climate change. Such an integrated overall energy solution is currently being implemented in the “Plätzli” project in Altdorf.
The future of energy in Switzerland is an ongoing topic. Local, sustainable and CO2-free energy solutions are a recipe for more independence without neglecting the agreed climate targets. With its integrated overall energy solutions, SmartEnergy for short, EWA-energieUri offers a clever solution for the individual energy transition. Specifically, the following is behind SmartEnergy: Produce and store electricity yourself with a photovoltaic system, sustainable heat and cold production, charging solutions for electromobility, measure and visualize the consumption of electricity, heat, cold and water with SmartMeters – everything is networked and optimized with one intelligent control.
Great added value for owners
EWA-energieUri is currently implementing such an integrated overall energy solution for the “Plätzli” development in Altdorf. The project in the middle of Altdorf’s village center comprises two buildings with a total of 24 apartments. Part of the energy required in the future will be produced with a photovoltaic system. All homeowners benefit from this. The electricity produced with solar power can be used, for example, to charge electric cars or to air-condition the premises. An intelligent control also connects all systems and optimizes them. In this way, the required electricity is always available when it is needed. Since the residual electricity also comes from renewable, local URstrom from Uri hydropower, the integrated overall energy solutions from EWA-energieUri are 100 percent CO2-free.
Benefit from the local heating network
The “Plätzli” project in Altdorf demonstrates another major advantage of integrated total energy solutions: the sustainable technologies can easily be expanded for other properties. Five existing buildings in the neighborhood also benefit from the two newly installed heat pumps in the “Plätzli” as part of the local heating network. They can say goodbye to their previous oil heating systems and significantly increase the energy balance of their properties. This option represents great added value, especially for owners of older properties. They can easily and simply benefit from sustainable solutions and at the same time help to take another step towards a renewable energy future.
