Photovoltaic installations on public utility facilities in our county were among the winners of the competition organized by portalsamorzadowy.pl. It distinguishes those municipal investments that are large-scale, pro-development, set trends and create environmental leaders.
Among the nominees for the competition there were road, communication and pro-ecological projects, expanding the sports and housing base or improving the living comfort of residents. The evaluation criteria on the basis of which the winning ten were selected were: the scale of investments and their functionality, innovation, cooperation with the local community at the design stage, efficiency of financial assembly and active asset management.
The ten winners of the plebiscite were selected by the editors of the portalsamorządowy.pl website and the Consultative Council, consisting of experienced local government officials, economists, managers and experts. The awards were presented during the 15th European Economic Congress, which is the largest business event in Central Europe.
The investment with a total value of PLN 13 million was implemented by Energia Komunalna, owned by six communes in our poviat. These are the real effects of the functioning of the Dzierżoniów Cluster of Energy and the company owned by six communes in our county.
This project will bring significant savings.
The total power of the installation is 2.96 MW. Energy production will amount to 2.93 GWh per year, which will reduce CO2 emissions by over 2,200 tons per year.
Annual savings in electricity costs will amount to over PLN 1 million. This gives a simple payback period of just over 2 years. The project is one of the few examples where a municipal investment carried out by local governments (through their commercial law company) generates real revenues in the form of electricity produced for own needs - says Tomasz Smolarz, CEO of Energii Komunalna.
