PV plants at antenna sites

Share

Ampegon is introducing Green Technologies for the benefit of our environment and to improve climate protection.

Based on its extensive turnkey experience and system approach the global leader in AM radio transmitter technology and in solutions for scientific applications is offering complete photovoltaic power plants. Supported by Ampegon's services in project development, dimensioning, customer relations, project monitoring and financing photovoltaic power plants can be installed at existing antenna sites – or anywhere in a country.

Despite the introduction of new high efficient broadcast technologies radio transmission stations still consume a huge amount of electrical energy. The large antenna field on the other hand is often an ideal place for a photovoltaic power plant to produce energy close to the consumer. Ampegon promotes an optimized utilization of fallow land area at transmitter stations and antenna fields as well as in plain countryside. That land area is environmental beneficial used to produce renewable energy with a photovoltaic power plant.

Ampegon has already proven successful operation of this new business model with the installation of a 20 MW power plant underneath an existing shortwave antenna installation in Wertachtal, Germany. Together with experienced partner companies up to 20 projects are currently under development in various stages with a total capacity of 200 MW. With another contract partner up to 14 different sites with a combined power capacity of 210 MW are in the planning phase – Ampegon is preparing the necessary paperwork to get permissions and fulfill legal requirements for the customers.

During Broadcast Asia 2014 Ampegon will be present at the German Pavilion Booth 4D1-14 to explain the new business options to interested visitors.
