Getting new projects off the ground - this and the mutual exchange were on the agenda at the meeting of the regional advisory board at the municipal utilities.
At the same time, future-oriented concepts such as the expansion of wind energy or e-car sharing were presented.
Fürstenfeldbruck - The regional advisory board includes the managing director and chairman of the supervisory board of Brucker Stadtwerke as well as the mayors of the 24 municipalities belonging to the supply area. The committee met for the first time in 2004. "The annual meeting is important for us," said Stadtwerke boss Jan Hoppenstedt. "It gives us the opportunity to talk about various activities in the region, about our communal cooperation or about the goals we have achieved in the energy transition." was earned. "A success that also results from our good project work with the communities."
Regional advisory board chairman Joseph Schäffler adds: "Implementing a sustainable climate policy in the region and thus promoting the energy transition is the endeavor of all those involved." He is all the more pleased that the joint activities resulted in various photovoltaic systems on the roofs of communal buildings and in open spaces. “With this we generate part of the amount of electricity in our municipalities that is needed for regional energy needs.” But that should not be satisfied, one should provide additional roofs and areas - for example along railway lines - for the construction of photovoltaic systems . "This brings us one step closer to a 100 percent power supply through our own regenerative generation."
Concepts for expanding wind energy in the surrounding area, charging infrastructure and car sharing with electric vehicles were also presented to the committee. The expansion of wind power plants in particular met with great interest. Because wind power is not only economical - it also represents an essential component in the local energy transition. This is the only way to successfully implement it by 2035. The acceptance of the wind turbines, the political will and the legal requirements play a decisive role. At the moment, the 10-H rule, the requirements of military and civil aviation and species protection are making the construction of wind turbines in Bavaria and the region more difficult. While politicians are still looking for solutions, the municipal utilities are using the time to work on new locations and concepts. imu
