Since the beginning of the year, Amara has been
producing green energy. The photovoltaic park
made up of European funds provides 50% of the
consumption of public institutions and street lighting
in the locality, which means a consistent economy to
the local budget. The "roadside" investment on
DN2C Slobozia-Buzau awakens the interest of the
people in transit and the pride of the locals, satisfied
with the usefulness of the project.
The Amara photovoltaic park is made up of 8
rotating devices on which 416 solar panels are
installed. They return simply after the sun, and if the
wind blows at a speed of more than 60 km / h, it
automatically sits horizontally.
Depending on the brightness of each day, a device
with 52 solar panels produces one day up to 12,500
kw of solar energy. From the first estimates, the
savings that the city resort makes as a green energy
producer amount to 300,000 lei per year.
School and kindergarten are two of the public consumers for whom green energy now means savings
on current bills, but less stress. For locals, the photovoltaic park is a pride, especially as Amara is among
the first communities in the country to produce green energy.

Alternative energy sources
Alternative energy is an energy that don‘t use up the Earth‘s natural resources.
There are eight common types of alternative energy: hydrogen, biofuel and
ethanol, hydroelectricity, nuclear energy, wind energy, solar energy,
geothermal energy, biomass.
In Lithuania, we use biomass – an energy which you can get by burning woods,
biofuels – a type of energy derived fro renewable plant and animal materials,
hydroelectricity – an energy that captures from falling water, wind power – an
energy from wind, biogas – gaseous fuel and geothermal energy – an energy
which is generated and stored in the Earth. I think that these energy forms are
really good, because of saving nature.
I think we should use them, because it is sustainable and it will never run out.
Also, this energy has minimal impact on the environment. For this reason, it
doesn‘t pollute our nature.
In conclusion, we must use this energy if we want to save our nature.
