Nuremberg's Solar Success: Airport Plant & Messe's 21,000 Modules
Solar energy is rising in importance, especially during the global energy transition. The city of Nuremberg showcases successful solar park projects, such as the large photovoltaic plant at Nuremberg Airport, which has a capacity of 3.3 MWp and generates around 3.4 GWh of electricity annually. Buying a solar park offers numerous advantages, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting regional value creation.
NurembergMesse is also embracing solar energy, with plans to install around 21,000 photovoltaic modules on their roofs by May 2024. Solar parks can contribute to biodiversity by implementing measures like flower strips or insect habitats, providing protective spaces for endangered species. They can also serve as drivers for sustainable regional development, providing communities with revenue for infrastructure projects, while promoting environmental awareness.
Communities benefit from solar parks through job creation, strengthening the local economy, and increasing the share of renewable energy, which improves long-term supply security and reduces CO2 emissions. Solar parks built on unused areas, such as agricultural land, allow for efficient use of renewable energy and create new income sources for farmers. The example project for the successful implementation of solar energy systems is found in Saerbeck, North Rhine-Westphalia, which is known nationwide as a model project for sustainable energy transition through its 'Innovationszentrum Energiepark Saerbeck'.
Solar parks are a key driver of the energy transition, enabling efficient use of unused areas, creating economic prospects, and actively promoting climate protection. They offer new income sources for farmers and communities, helping farmers become more independent of agricultural yields and uncertain market prices. The city of Nuremberg demonstrates the success of solar park projects, with the photovoltaic plant at Nuremberg Airport being one of the largest on a German airport.
