Tenders Are Invited For Kanta-Hämes Innovative Solar Power Solutions In The Built Environment

The Sun Is A Renewable Source Of Energy That Will Last For Another 6.5 Billion Years. Solar Energy Is Also One Of The Most Sustainable Forms Of Energy Because It Cannot Be Overconsumed. The Potential Of Solar Energy Would Be Enough To Cover Our Entire Global Energy Consumption, But We Need Versatile Ways To Utilize Its Full Potential. The Häme Association Has Completed A Provincial Survey Of The Potential Of Renewable Energy, But It Only Deals With The Production Of Industrial-Scale Solar Power, Which Is Currently Located Outside The Built Environment. This Report Will Supplement The Above-Mentioned Mapping Of The Provincial Energy Potential. The Purpose Of The Report Is To Map The Potential Of Solar Power In The Built Environment, E.G. In Buildings And Waste Lands Of Planning Areas In Kanta-Häme Province. The Survey Focuses On The Surfaces Of Industrial, Commercial And Public Buildings And The Medium-Sized Solar Power Production Suitable For Them, But The Solar Power Potential Of Private And Small Houses Is Also Mapped. The Report Also Examines, For Example, The Coverage Of Large Parking Areas And Their Role And Suitability For Solar Energy Production. Other Innovative Solutions Can Also Be Explored. Solar Energy Production Focused On The Built Environment Saves The Pressure Of Placing Panel Fields In The Natural Environment. The Production Of Solar Energy Located In The Built Environment Does Not Threaten The Core Areas Of Nature, The Ecological Network Or The Biodiversity Of Nature, But In Part Secures The Preservation And Development Of Carbon Sinks In The Province. A Property-Specific Solar Power Plant Also Does Not Require Long High-Voltage Lines. The Report Will Be Used As A Background Report For The Provincial Plan And The Provinces Renewable Energy Strategy. The Municipalities Of Kanta-Häme Can Use The Survey As A Background Survey For General Zoning And In The Preparation Of Climate Plans.
