Iffeldorf - Iffeldorf is the first municipality in the district to have an energy monitor: You can see in real time how electricity is generated and consumed for the municipality.

25 percent of the energy that was consumed in Iffeldorf in the last 41 days was also generated in the Osterseengemeinde - most of it through photovoltaic systems.

These are really not self-sufficient numbers, as Mayor Hans Lang (SPD) knows: “We still have some catching up to do compared to other municipalities.” Bayernwerk representative Stefan Drexl can only confirm that: “Other municipalities already produce 60 percent regional electricity. “As a result, only 40 percent is drawn from the network in this case.


We still have some catching up to do compared to other municipalities.

Hans Lang (Mayor)

Lang wants to make the energy transition in Iffeldorf visible.

Two more are to be added to the existing PV systems this year.

The municipality also promotes the private construction of solar cells and energy storage (Rundschau reported).

A solar filling station next to the communal apartment building on Rathausweg with a car sharing car is also planned to promote the energy transition.

Sun is not everything

A separate energy monitor is now available to make the turn more visible. This measures and breaks down the energy generation in Iffeldor, shows how much regional electricity is generated and how much electricity from the grid is required. Consumption in Iffeldorf is also measured and broken down into the categories of “industry and trade”, “communal systems” and “private households”. According to the mayor, the goal is a neutral or positive network balance.

Those who rely heavily on photovoltaics have a problem at night and in winter: The sun hardly shines or not at all - not a good basis for sustainable production.

Storing the energy would be one solution, but the storage systems are still expensive.

The sun can therefore only be one component of the targeted energy transition.

In Iffeldorf you will have to build on alternatives: According to Drexl, water, wind, biomass and also energy storage could play a role in solving the problem.
