Energy village

Abstract

This project is part of a larger project carried out in Finland. The name of this bigger project is “Energiby”. This project is aiming to provide 10-15 villages in Finland with green and renewable energy and make them self-sufficient. The intention is that in the future these villages can rely on their own renewable energy sources. To establish this several project groups get their own village and have to make a plan concerning this one and only village. The plan describes how to supply a specific village with green energy, the costs of the implementation and the payback time. For each village this can be different, depending on the village’s situation and interests. One of the villages taking part in this project is Komossa. It is a small village in the Ostrobothnian region, western Finland. This report is for Komossa only. The calculations made in the report are based on data gathered for this area. Implementing the same solution(s) in different areas can result in deviating results.
