100% locally produced renewable Energy
Posted by: | CommentsA new city district, the Western Harbour, is supplied by 100% locally produced renewable energy. The concept is based on local conditions for energy production: water, heat and cold storage in water reserves in the bedrock, wind, and partially sun. Over the year, there is balance between used and produced energy within the area. Through a connection to the general electricity and district heating grids of the city, those grids serve as energy. Solar installations (heat collectors and photovoltaics) were included in the design of the buildings and placed visible in the area in order to create an interest in renewable energy sources.
