The Reus City Council has completed the works for a new solar photovoltaic installation on the roof of the Escola la Vitxeta. The project expands the center’s electricity generation with a system of 115.20 kWp and an estimated annual production of 158,985 kWh.
The expansion multiplies the capacity that the facility already had, where a first installation of 14.8 kWp was operating. The system will also start operating under a collective self-consumption regime with surplus compensation.
Until now, the school had a previous, smaller installation. With the work now completed, the new infrastructure adds a peak power of 115.20 kWp on the roof of the educational center.
The municipal forecast places the annual generation at 158,985 kWh. This volume expands the energy contribution of the previous system and reinforces the use of the school roof as an electricity production point.
Furthermore, the chosen model will allow the generated energy to be shared.
The collective self-consumption regime incorporates surplus compensation, so the installation will not only supply consumption linked to the facility but will also manage surplus energy within that system.
The works were awarded to Soletec Proyectos e Instalaciones for 74,542.62 euros, including VAT. The project has been entirely financed by a subsidy from the Diputació de Tarragona through the Pla ImpulsDipta.
Daniel Rubio, councilor for the Area of Environment, Sustainability, and Public Space, frames the intervention within the expansion of these types of systems to other city facilities, as is already happening at the municipal swimming pools.
“The Reus City Council continues with the deployment of new solar photovoltaic installations in the city’s educational centers and other municipal facilities. With this work, Reus takes another step towards advancing towards an energy model that aims to be a benchmark in the territory and in Catalonia for its environmental commitment to clean, green, and affordable energy” – Daniel Rubio, councilor for the Area of Environment, Sustainability, and Public Space, Reus City Council
The new facility of Escola la Vitxeta thus joins other recent actions linked to energy saving and the adaptation of public facilities, also present in the pedagogical programs of Aigües de Reus linked to educational centers in the municipality.
The work has been awarded to Soletec Proyectos e Instalaciones for an amount of 74,542.62 euros, VAT included.
