In order to quickly increase the proportion of renewable energy and to become as self-sufficient as possible, the city of Moosburg has now decided to install more PV modules on the southern elementary school.

Moosburg

– With the war in Ukraine in mind, the city of Moosburg, which is already involved in climate protection in many ways, seems to have shifted up a gear again: After expanding the photovoltaic system on the Amperauen children’s home, the municipality is now starting to work on the next roof area.

In the future, additional electricity will also be generated from the power of the sun at the Anton Vitzthum elementary school on Münchner Strasse.

The city administration had commissioned an engineering office to investigate further potential for solar cells.

The positive result was the predicted profitability of a photovoltaic system on the extension of the elementary school.

248 modules with an output of 99.2 kWp are possible.

In a simulation, this extension generates 101,000 kilowatt hours of electricity annually in the area of ​​the Anton Vitzthum elementary school, has a calculated degree of self-sufficiency of 48 percent and a self-consumption rate of 72 percent.

Essential stabilizing factor for city finances

These are quite decent values ​​that make power generation economical.

After all, the elementary school and the adjacent town hall consume around 150,000 kilowatt hours of electricity annually.

In view of the sharp rise in electricity costs in the future, the high proportion of energy used for one's own needs is a key financial stabilization factor.

The bill consists of 160,000 euros in acquisition costs, which have statistically amortized after 10.7 years.

In the budget, 50,000 euros are planned for a PV system, the remaining 110,000 euros can be taken from the cost item of the new building, because there will be leftovers.

The 2nd Mayor Georg Hadersdorfer (CSU), who chaired the meeting, emphasized that this investment made sense - and ultimately there was not much to discuss.

The construction of the photovoltaic system was decided unanimously.
