The old cooling basin measures 60,000 square meters. 25,000 of those are now covered by 6,700 solar panels generating renewable energy.

The installation took 6 months and is a first in Luxembourg: a floating solar energy plant that will contribute to Luxembourg’s renewable energies, 15% of which are produced in the country.

The plant can produce 3 gigawatt hours per year and can cover the energy needs of around 800 households of four people. Large installations such as this one are a big step forward in terms of climate protection, says Enovos.
