Klima Kampagne Tag der Sonne Stade de Suisse in Bern

Bern, 06. Mai 2004: SP-Ständerätin Simonetta Sommaruga und Stadtrat Michael Jordi vom Grünen Bündnis der BKW FMB Energie AG überreichen über 500 Petitionsunterschriften und „Sun Boys“ Fussball-Shirts. Als VertreterIn des von Greenpeace initiierten Komitees pro solarstadion.ch fordern sie die BKW auf, das geplante Solarkraftwerk auf dem Dach des „Stade de Suisse Wankdorf“ auf Europarekordgrösse von 1'000 Kilowatt auszubauen. Die BKW ist dieser Forderung insofern nachgekommen, dass sie beim Baugesuch diesen Ausbau vorgesehen hat. Das Kraftwerk soll im Mai 2005 ans Netz gehen. Damit YB-Fans, Fussballer, das TV-Publikum der Europameisterschaften 2008 und BesucherInnen von den Vorteilen der Sonnenenergie erfahren, bittet das Komitee die BKW, im Stadion und ums Stadion herum für die Energie der Zukunft zu werben. © Greenpeace / Ex-Press / David Adair

Climate Campaign for Solar Energy Day of the Sun in Bern Switzerland

SP councilor Simonetta Sommaruga and city councilor Michael Jordi Alliance of the „Grünen Bündnis“ (the green party) handed the BKW FMB Energie AG a petition signed by more than 500 people and „Sun Boys“ soccer t-shirts. As a representative of the committee (initiated by Greenpeace) „pro solarstadion.ch“ they are demanding that the BKW will increase the size of the proposed solar power plant on the roof of the "Stade de Suisse Wankdorf“ (the football stadium in Bern) up to 1,000 kilowatt. This will be a record size in Europe. The BKW has met this requirement so far that during the planning this expansion was taken into account. The plant will be finished in may 2005. Because YB fans, soccer players and the TV audience of the European Championships in 2008 will experience the advantages of solar energy, the committee is asking the BKW to advertise the benefits of solar energy in and around the stadium.
