Salonta City Hall submitted to the Norwegian Funds the technical plan for the construction of a park of solar panels on an area of 12,000 square meters, announces Transilvania Business. The total amount of the investment is 6.19 million lei, i.e. 1.25 million euros.

The share assumed by Salonta City Hall (Bihor County) is 0.92 million lei. The municipality aims to eliminate the high energy costs of the sewerage system using electricity produced in the solar park near the treatment plant. This could reduce the value of bills for each family, but also carbon dioxide emissions by 166 tons per month.

The project envisages the installation of 1,580 panels in a 553 kW energy park.
