Energie AG and EWS Consulting GmbH from Munderfing put their “lighthouse project” on Friday, which is to supply 1,680 households from the region with electricity. 80 percent of the area will continue to be managed as before, 20 percent for the extraction of solar energy.
Energie AG plans to build a total output of more than 25 megawatt peak (MWP) in PV systems in the current financial year. The Sonnenfeld Pischelsdorf was another “further milestone” in order to increase the proportion of solar power by 2030 in Upper Austria, Energie AG Supervisory Board Chairman and State Councilor Markus Achleitner (ÖVP) and Energie AG-CEO Leonhard Schitter agreed.

In addition to double use, the AGRI PV system also offers protection against frost and drought damage, is not in competition for food production and no floors are sealed, Mayor Gerhard Höflmaier (ÖVP) emphasized. Joachim Payr, partner of Innviertler EWS Consulting GmbH, which the system developed, emphasized the “high local population of 36 percent of the crowdinvesting project”. 7,514 modules with a total output of 4.58 MWP are to produce 5.9 million kilowatt hours of electricity annually. In 25 years, 114,260 tons of CO2 would be saved.
