NürnbergMesse is also relying on artificial intelligence (AI) for the construction of the PV system. The "digital twin" developed together with system planning partner HEITEC Innovation GmbH enables efficient load management in the planning and operation of the system. Nuremberg's Lord Mayor Marcus König, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of NürnbergMesse, emphasises: "By producing its own solar power, NürnbergMesse is continuing on its consistent path of sustainability and at the same time sending a strong signal for climate protection in the city and metropolitan region."
City of Nuremberg at the forefront of photovoltaics
The city of Nuremberg has already come a long way along this path. The nationwide comparison tool "Wattbewerb" puts Nuremberg at the top of the list of cities over 500,000 in terms of installed photovoltaic capacity per inhabitant. According to the market master data register, there were 4,451 PV systems with a total net installed capacity of around 69 MWp in Nuremberg as at 31 December 2022. In 2022 alone, around 750 systems with an output of around 6.5 MWp were added in the city. "For us, the expansion of solar energy is an important building block in achieving our climate protection goals," says Britta Walthelm, Head of Environmental Protection, "which is why we want as many photovoltaic systems as possible on our roofs."
