Description
The main objective of the project is developing a photovoltaic plant in order to assure electricity from renewable resources for public lighting and to reduce its CO2 emissions.
After a feasibility study was conducted, the results were that by development of 3 photovoltaic plants, Șinteu Commune will reduce energy costs for electricity for these locations and will increase security of supply for public lighting. The photovoltaic panels will be placed on the ground and will be mounted on a metal structure. All locations are connected to the grid. The commune will not have any income from the operation. The real benefit will be the reduction of electricity consumption costs, because the photovoltaic plants will produce energy only to compensate its own consumption. Key activities include:
- Technical expertise and assistance.
- Project investment for the 3 photovoltaic plants.
- Financial audit.
- Project management.
- Publicity to ensure the visibility of the project.
Expected outcomes includes an estimated annual CO2 emission reduction of 874 tonnes. Energy produced from other renewable sources is estimated to be around 292 MWh/year. The Installed capacity for production of electricity from photovoltaic panels will be 0.30 MW.
The project has a positive impact on the future development of the community. Following the implementation of the project, the dependence towards the conventional sources of energy will be reduced, as well as energy costs, it increases the comfort level of public services and will be an example for the inhabitants as well to look for photovoltaic panels as an option towards conventional source of energy.
