PV systems
The transition from fossil to renewable energy is one of the most important building blocks in the transformation to climate neutrality. The university is a pioneer among German universities in the expansion of photovoltaic systems on its own roofs - PV systems have already been installed on 80% of the available roof surfaces.
The systems are financed in part by the European Union's Structural Funds (EFRE) and by Intraction from the university's own funds. With this Oldenburg method, further PV systems are constantly being financed and installed.
With the latest expansion of the photovoltaic systems, the University of Oldenburg was again able to increase itsCO2 savings. After a saving of 268t in 2020, the increase from 2022 can save up to 358t ofCO2 per year. In 2022, a total of around 600,000 kWh of electricity was generated with the PV systems and consumed for the university's own needs.
Location Haarentor
At the Haarentor site, PV systems are currently installed on the roofs of 9 buildings/groups of buildings. These can achieve a total output of 958.71 kWp and generate 819,000 kWh of electricity. Measured with the emission factor for the federal electricity mix for the year 2021, a total of up to 307 tonnes of CO2 are saved per year.
Location Wechloy
At the Wechloy site, PV systems are currently installed on the roofs of 2 buildings/groups of buildings. These can achieve a total output of 164.73 kWp kWp and generate 136,000 kWh of electricity. Measured with the emission factor for the federal electricity mix for the year 2021, a total of up to 51 tonnes of CO2 are saved per year.
