Constructed in August 2023, the solar electric plant has thus far generated 94,79MWh, enough to power 188 lightbulbs (60W) non-stop for a year. On average, the solar energy plant will generate 362MWh annually. Plans are already underway to expand the existing solar plant, constructed by a regional leader in solar electricity, Sol Navitas, this year. Thus, the new plant will create an additional 100MWh of electric energy. Ljubljana’s pioneering sustainable meeting venue will annually generate approximately 462MWh of electricity.
Ameliorating the effects of climate change
With the new additions to its premises, the Ljubljana Exhibition and Convention Centre will emit 460 tonnes less CO2, burn 38 tonnes less coal and help save 25.150 trees. In addition, the innovative design solution of the new solar plants will maximise the efficiency of the roof’s surface.
A slew of sustainable measures have been implemented at the venue to reach SDG goals, including waste management, energy-saving measures and eliminating plastic at almost all events. The venue’s additional electric plant has not altered the architectural design of the building and will already begin operating in springtime – the peak season for trade shows and trade fairs.
