The Municipality of Postojna is moving forward with the establishment of its first energy community, linked to the construction of the new high-efficiency sports hall at SGLZŠ Postojna.

The hall will provide 1,330 m² of net usable sports surfaces (total gross area 2,145.57 m²) and is designed as an energy-efficient building. To ensure energy neutrality, the building will host a rooftop solar power plant with a total capacity of 191 kWp, of which 66 kWp will be owned by the Municipality of Postojna.

This municipal share of the photovoltaic installation is the key driver for setting up the energy community, which will bring together:

  • SGLZŠ Postojna,

  • several public institutions in the municipality,

  • and the Municipality of Postojna itself.

The energy community will enable optimised use of locally produced renewable electricity, strengthen cost efficiency and enhance the resilience of public infrastructure
