Eloncity

Eloncity provides the best source of energy to whole city. We provide locally produced energy which is available on 24/7 hours. Our energy prices are very cheap. Up to one in four homeowners is considering renovations to their heating or power systems within the next two years. Interesting potential solutions include solar panels, pellets, heat pumps, smart home automation, insulation, thermal window systems and LEDs.

We produced wind energy. It is full of safe. Pollution is also controlled by producing energy in the method. Eloncity is considered the highly wind city. We are building a strong system. Air blows on city and we capture the energy by using this method.

Eloncity has promoted Wind energy that incorporate self-generated energy in several projects. One of them is the Wind energy where the large number of houses was built as a energy-plus house. They looked at ways of encouraging residents to adopt a sustainable lifestyle.

The Eloncity project has identified the most popular and individuals leading the way in energy efficiency, energy saving and the use of renewable energy sources in Finland. Eloncity contains almost 300 individuals, organizations or businesses which have adopted renewable energy solutions pioneers in an innovative way. On the basis of their experiences, the project strives to dismantle administrative obstacles, disseminate best practices and promote new ways of business.

Generating energy must be easy

The growth in the popularity of generating one’s own energy is hampered by the fact that feeding power into the network is not easy, as well as a support policy which favors centralized energy solutions. Comparing different solutions and finding the solution that best suits one’s needs is not easy, either. Information on locally-produced energy should be easily accessible in one place, and residents should be able to process it according to the information they require. Also, a solution to the problem of periodic output needs to be found.

For a clean energy market to come into being, and for the desired services to be created, we need to identify and eliminate administrative obstacles. With these facts in mind, we called together a working group in the spring of 2012 to prepare a discussion paper on the challenges of small-scale renewable energy generation and potential solutions.
The discussion paper lists the major challenges of small-scale renewable energy creation and proposes potential solutions. Small-scale energy generation also necessitates new land use planning practices, which have been developed in the Eloncity projects.

The technological preconditions for market development are already in place. However, since small-scale production of solar energy or other renewable energy has not got off the ground in market terms in whole Eloncity. Eloncity commissioned an analysis of whether models such as a cooperative of small-scale energy producers and the Eloncity could help promote small-scale energy production in Finland. According to the analysis, a cooperative of small-scale producers would not seem to offer a solution. However, a model combining small-scale production with industrial-scale wind power generation might work.

New business around self-produced energy

Services and operating models using locally-generated energy were considered from the perspective of SMEs, housing companies and the residents of single-family homes or leisure residents. Some ideas for service concepts were generated via workshops, with the goal being to find solutions which would help residents save energy or produce energy based on renewable sources and turn it into a profitable business.

Demand also exists for new service solutions, which would offer residents an easy, economical and reliable way of acquiring and maintaining energy equipment. There is still room in the market for service providers willing to grasp this business opportunity. The creation of user-oriented energy renovation services has been promoted in, for example, the Wind Energy project. Eloncity has also reviewed international service and financial models and established a workshop to discuss their application in Finland.
The Eloncity Energy Association will continue the work to promote the production of local renewable energy.

Energy Source

Eloncity utilize the kinetic energy of airflow to rotate turbine blades. The mechanical energy that is produced in this way is then converted by a generator into electricity. There is still plenty of potential for wind energy. It would be possible for facilities that meet the stringent conceptual specifications to produce huge amount of electricity a year to whole city. Ideal locations for wind parks exist in the city range.

The wind energy concept specifies the conditions governing the planning and construction of wind parks and is based on the principle of strictly limiting the installation of wind power plants to the most suitable sites. The criteria for identifying suitable sites include availability of wind, degree of development, distance from residential areas and compatibility with nature and landscape. This concept is intended to provide the cantons and municipalities with a helpful planning framework.
