A large photovoltaic system could cover 5 to 10 percent of the electricity demand in Grafing in just over a year.
The city has started planning.
Nettelkofen
- The city of Grafing is planning an open-space photovoltaic system on the railway line near Nettelkofen.
The area is one of the few suitable in the city, argued Eberwerk managing director Markus Henle in the latest city council meeting.
“And the system would be well embedded in the landscape.” In addition, there is already a medium-voltage line there through which the solar power can be fed into the grid.
Around five to ten percent of the electricity demand in the Grafingen municipality is to be covered once.
The area will be between 1.7 and 4 hectares - the planning is still in the initial phase.
The possible electricity yield is accordingly between 1.7 and 4 million kilowatt hours per year.
The condition for the larger variant is that the boar farm finds a suitable agricultural area to swap.

The area is marked on the map - currently still an approximate idea.
The planning is at the beginning.

Henle urged the councils with a view to the ambitious climate protection goals of the district of Ebersberg that Grafing could make such a good and due contribution.
“We are currently miles behind.
That would be a decent amount in one go. ”Of the 95 hectares of open-space PV systems in the district envisaged in the energy agency's milestone plan, only 5 have so far been implemented.
Henle replied to a request in this regard that a bit of soundproofing to the railway line would also bring the development - albeit not in a clearly noticeable area.
Otherwise, the railway is a good neighbor for solar power.
“They ask for a glare certificate so that their train crew is not blinded.
Otherwise there is little resistance, ”said the Eberwerk managing director.
Even with the planned northern access to the Brenner, the project does not get in the way.
The plant, built and operated by the Eberwerk, should go into operation at the end of 2021 or beginning of 2022. There was no cost estimate on the evening of the meeting, as it was still a preliminary planning.
The councils entered this with a unanimity that was rare for Grafing.
The fact that sheep could graze under the solar panels one day led the Green City Councilor Hermann Maier to the assessment: "That would be an ecological upgrade for the agricultural area."
