Youth Home De Reynaert

60 cooperative solar panels on the roof of Youth Hostel De Reynaert in Wellen, providing an annual production of approximately 23,000 kWh — equivalent to the consumption of 6 to 7 Flemish households. This saves us almost 8 tons of CO₂ annually.

The youth hostel is a quietly located youth accommodation near the open-air swimming pool Malpertus and nature reserve De Grote Beemd, where youth groups can come for activities, camps and meetings in a green environment.

Bronsgroen was selected through the framework contract of the Flemish Energy Company as a supplier for the cooperative financing of the PV installation. The generated electricity is primarily consumed by municipal buildings at a favorable rate. The surplus is distributed to other municipal buildings via the energy sharing principle, and the remainder goes to the cooperative members who receive green electricity as Ecopower customers.

The solar panels and inverter have been installed. We are now awaiting the official inspection of the installation, after which green electricity production can begin.
