Sun and favourable topography
The Heinzenberg enjoys plenty of sunshine, even in winter. The PV system produces 11 GWh of electricity per year, which is roughly equivalent to the electricity consumption of Cazis. In addition, the mountain has a very advantageous topography. It is neither too rocky nor too steep. This makes it easier to build on and minimises risks associated with natural hazards.
Very good connections
The area is very well connected and can be reached by road. There are already cable conduits in place that can be used for energy discharge. There is enough capacity for the connection to the Rothenbrunnen substation. This means that no access structures are necessary and the existing infrastructure will remain in use. This simplifies the logistics considerably.
No protected areas affected
The PV system is located below the Präzer Höhi in an area without spatial planning conflicts. The area borders the winter sports zone and the Sarn ski lift. No national or local protected areas, such as dry meadows, are affected. Dual agricultural use for alpine farming will continue to be possible.
