… is both CO2-free and does not contribute to the greenhouse effect.
… requires 10 to 20 times less energy for construction and operation compared to other forms of electricity production.
… is at the leading edge when it comes to the ecological balance sheet.
… can be produced locally and reduces dependency on external sources. In the Davos Klosters region, the geological conditions – such as the high mountains and abundant sunshine – can be used to generate green electricity. The Alps have particularly favourable irradiation values and numerous sunny days, resulting in a solar power yield that is approximately 50 % higher than in the Central Plateau.
… can be generated using existing infrastructure. For instance, the snowmaking system’s existing lines are utilised for electricity production from hydropower.
