“Everyone, at their own level, must do the job, it will not be done only with centralized decisions. With this installation, I pay as much electricity to EDF as EDF pays me, the balance sheet is therefore zero. . The energy transition is not only photovoltaic panels, it is also necessary to stop the overconsumption of energy and that is already a big progress, “ argues this retired physicist.

An installation which has a cost, the depreciation of its installation will be done in ten years.

Village power stations are on the rise

Marc Muré does not stop there in his commitment to the planet, he is also one of the 120 individuals who have invested money in the village center of Weiss. An organization that allows and facilitates the installation of photovoltaic panels in the Kaysersberg valley.

At present, it produces energy for 70 families for one year, It’s not nothing. “We show with projects like this that in everyday life, we can change our way of producing energy, while keeping the same comfort and the same uses, comments Richard Lemoine, he is a member of the management board of the village center of the Weiss valley.

For two years, 14 roofs are fitted with photovoltaic panels in the Kaysersberg valley. They are on public buildings, but are also installed in private homes.
