TBW realize the first solar system in roof rental

Wil SG , March 2022

Technische Betriebs Wil (TBW) has installed a solar system with a peak output of 178 kilowatts on the roof of the riding hall in Wil. The electricity produced there is marketed by TBW. The riding club receives a rent for the roof and ancillary rooms used by the project.

The TBW have implemented their first project in the roof rental model on the roof of the riding hall in Wil, the city-owned energy service company informs in a press release . Specifically, a solar system with a peak output of 178 kilowatts was implemented. It will produce around 170 megawatt hours of electricity annually.

TBW will make the electricity produced on the roof of the riding hall available to its own customers, the company explains in the press release. In return, the Wil Riding Club receives rent for the roof it has provided and for other ancillary rooms used by the project. The corresponding contract has a term of 25 years.

The TBW assume that the demand for electricity from renewable energies will increase as a result of the abandonment of fossil fuels. In order to cover this, “innovative solutions such as those on the roof of the Wiler Reithalle are required,” writes the company.
