USE OF QUARRIES FOR THE PLACEMENT OF SOLAR POWER PLANTS IN URBAN ENVIRONMENTS
Keywords:
Quarries possess several features that make them attractive for the installation of solar energy facilities.Abstract
This article examines the potential of using abandoned quarries for the placement of solar power plants in urban and suburban environments. The study highlights the relevance of integrating renewable energy solutions with the reuse of disturbed lands formed as a result of mining activities. Special attention is given to the characteristics of quarries that make them suitable for solar energy development, including large unused areas, favorable topography, and proximity to existing infrastructure. The paper analyzes different types of solar power installations applicable to quarries, such as ground-mounted, terraced, and floating systems. Environmental benefits are discussed, including reduced land degradation, lower dust emissions, decreased water evaporation, and mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, the economic advantages of utilizing quarries are considered, such as reduced land costs and lower infrastructure investments.
Potential risks and limitations are also identified, including geological instability, accessibility issues, and environmental constraints. The study further explores the prospects for implementing such projects in Uzbekistan, given its high solar energy potential and availability of quarry sites.
The results demonstrate that the transformation of quarries into solar power generation sites is a sustainable and efficient solution that contributes to environmental protection, energy security, and rational land use.
