The Vaskeresztes Fishing Tourism Center operates with renewable energies
The headquarters of the Vas County Association of Sport Fishing Anglers' Associations is located in the Vaskeresztes Alpine Inn and Fishing Tourism Center, which was built in 2006. As a result of continuous developments at the Association, in recent years - with EU and government support - the fishing tourism center has been expanded with a 250 m2 event space and an 80 m2 canopy terrace, as well as a sophisticated park and a double size fishing lake.
One of the priority goals has been the modernization of the building energy center of the fishing tourism center for many years, using a solar cell, which is a technology utilizing renewable energy sources.
In the framework of the Leader - Call for Development of Production and Service Capacities of Non-Agricultural Micro-Enterprises (VP6-19.2.1.-69-8.1.5-17) won in the spring of 2020, the dreamed-of investments were reached in mid-November.
In the framework of the implemented Service Development of the Fishing Tourism Center with Renewable Energies (Project ID: 1965211434), in addition to the construction of a smart solar system consisting of 124 (340 WP) solar panels with 42.0 KWp, 8 high-power split air conditioners were installed. in addition to energy production, it saves 11.86 tons of CO2 emissions, which is equivalent to 545 trees planted. For split climates, the necessary electricity is provided from the energy produced by the solar panels. With the installation of air conditioners suitable for both cooling and heating, the currently extremely expensive tank gas heating has also been partially replaced, and in the high heat of summer, the cooling of the entire building has also been solved.
As part of the project, a new energy-saving 300-liter heat pump domestic hot water tank was also purchased and installed. In addition, at the end of the project, 150 chairs needed for fishing tourism and other events were purchased. The Leader tender project entitled Service Development of the Fishing Tourism Center with Renewable Energies with a budget of HUF 29.7 million - with a 50% support intensity - provided the Association with HUF 14.8 million in financial resources for the implementation of the undertaken activities. The project closing event related to the presentation of the developments could not be realized due to the regulations of the epidemiological situation, but all other activities were successfully completed.
