Overview

Project Summary

Hvidovrebo is a good example of how community power can be used by more vulnerable groups of society as a means to address their own social issues. Hvidovrebo Section 6 is a social housing estate located in a municipality on the outside suburbs of Copenhagen. Using this model of self-governance, the tenants decided through a consensus of the General Assembly that they would like to produce electricity from solar PV and water heating from solar thermal. Because the estates’ roofs were already in need of renovations, solar construction and installation was integrated into the process. The project will be owned by the housing estate, but the tenants will contribute financially to the project through additions on top of rent or mortgage payments. The project will span 10 roofs throughout the estate, producing between 120-160 MWh per year. The electricity produced will contribute towards self-sufficiency within the estate. The project is being implemented in cooperation with the local district heating company, Hvidovre South A.m.b.A. The company has conducted and financed feasibility studies on how to integrate solar PV with solar heating, the latter of which will be financed by the company.
