The Calpe Town Council has begun the tender process for the installation of photovoltaic panels for self-consumption at the municipal swimming pool, with a budget of €57,438 and a completion period of three months.
The project consists of installing a hybrid photovoltaic system for self-consumption on the roof of the municipal swimming pool, with 50 kW of surplus energy fed into the grid and the possibility of energy storage. A generator consisting of 104 modules or panels with intelligent monitoring will be installed.
The solar panels will cover the facility's own energy needs with renewable energy, reducing the electricity bill and carbon emissions. This installation will complement the municipal swimming pool's biomass boiler and LED lighting, which are designed to maximise energy efficiency and savings at this sports facility.
The Councillor for Sports, Ximo Perles, pointed out that ‘the City Council is committed to renewable energy, and this is a measure of sustainability and energy efficiency. We aspire to be as environmentally friendly as possible. The installation of photovoltaic panels at the municipal swimming pool to reduce consumption is the first of other investments along these lines to reduce pollution’.
