Moselbad's €1M Solar Project to Power Baths, Cut CO2, Offer EV Charging
A major solar project is underway at Moselbad, backed by €1 million from Rhineland-Palatinate's Communal Investment Program. The project, set to complete this year, will generate clean energy for the baths and offer electric vehicle charging. It's expected to save over 170 tons of CO2 annually.
The Moselbad, which attracted over 190,000 visitors in its first year, will benefit from the new photovoltaic system. With a capacity of around 399 kWp, it's expected to produce 368,569 kWh of solar yield annually. This electricity will power the baths, making it one of Germany's most modern, eco-friendly facilities.
The project involves covering 104 out of 137 parking spaces with a steel structure and installing 896 solar modules. This will also provide weather protection for visitors and vehicles. The operation is scheduled to start in early 2026, with the structure expected to be completed by the end of this year. The project is co-financed by the local municipality, federal renewable energy grants, and private investors.
The multimillion-dollar solar park project at Moselbad, set to go operational in 2026, is a significant step towards sustainable energy use. It's expected to generate substantial clean energy, reduce CO2 emissions, and enhance the visitor experience with weather protection and electric vehicle charging.
