Berliner Stadtwerke to establish 23-MW of PV systems on public buildings

• German electrical utility Berliner Stadtwerke GmbH will set up more than 300 photovoltaic (PV) solar systems with a complete capacity of virtually 23 MW on the roofs of public buildings in Berlin by 2024.

The initial five systems will certainly be set up on the roofings of schools in the spring of 2022 while other buildings are being presently evaluated and also prioritised based upon their technological attributes, the utility stated on Thursday.

The project is being executed in behalf of 6 districts in Berlin that have actually authorized letters of intent with the energy. Berliner Stadtwerke will fund, install and also maintain the PV systems which will generate sufficient electricity to supply the buildings where there are established.

The effort remains in line with the new environment defense legislation of the capital that obliges the state as well as the districts to equip the roofs of public buildings with solar systems by the end of 2024.

Berliner Stadtwerke has currently set up a planetary system on one of the grade schools in the area of Steglitz-Zehlendorf but the generation of green electrical energy needs to be increased as the capital looks for to reach climate nonpartisanship in 2045, stated Steglitz-Zehlendorf's district mayor Maren Schellenberg.

The authorities of four more areas in Berlin are currently holding talks with the energy on more comparable projects.
