Twenty-one years ago, the University of Minnesota, Morris, became the first U.S. public university to draw power from an on-site, industrial-scale wind turbine. It added a second one in 2011. Today, the pair — affectionately known as Bert and Ernie — produce more power each year than the semirural campus consumes. …

El proyecto, promovido por Repsol a través de Solar360, contempla una inversión de 5,66 millones de euros, con una producción estimada de 3.638,5 MWh anuales y autoconsumo colectivo asociado a unos 6.300 hogares. Las marquesinas cubrirán 651 plazas de aparcamiento, con 40 puntos de recarga para VE.

Acesur ya dispone de 3,65 GWh anuales de generación fotovoltaica instalada en cuatro centros y prevé ampliarla con una planta agrivoltaica de 3,67 MW y 3 MWh BESS, junto a soluciones Power to Heat para optimizar el consumo energético.
