Join us on the ice at the premiere of Strömvallen in the clip above.
- We chose to postpone the start, because it is a facility that uses a lot of electricity.
Right now it is important to save, says Patrik Cederleuf, coordinator for energy saving measures at the Technology and Property Administration in Halmstad municipality.
Calculated to draw a lot of electricity
210,000 kilowatt hours, the municipality calculates that it saved by postponing the opening by one month.
The municipality estimates a consumption of 490,000 kilowatt hours for the entire season.
To compare with a villa that consumes around 25,000 kilowatt hours per year, according to EON.
At the same time as everyone is urged to save electricity, you start the ice rink, how does it go together?
- You have to see it in an overall context.
There will be disadvantages for the public and the bandy association if Strömvallen is not open, says Patrik Cederleuf.
The municipality has a budget of 1.2 million kroner in electricity costs for Strömvallen and it must be kept as the municipality has a fixed electricity contract of around 75 öre per kilowatt hour.
The ice rink is open until the fifth of March.
