Requiem in Power

Graveyards a favorite haunt for solar farms in Valencia

In a move likely to leave both the living and the dearly departed
feeling a bit sunnier, the Spanish city of Valencia is turning its
cemeteries into bustling hubs of renewable energy.

Aptly dubbed RIP (Requiem in Power), the initiative is set to
transform graveyards into solar powerhouses, generating clean energy
while giving a whole new meaning to resting in peace.

Valencia, famed for paella and now potentially its eco-conscious
ghosts, has already installed the first batch of photovoltaic panels
in three cemeteries. By the time the project is completed, 6,658 solar
panels will be gently basking in the Spanish sun.

According to Euronews, that hardware ought to be enough to power
municipal buildings and provide a quarter of the energy to 1,000
vulnerable households.
