Stadtwerke invest in photovoltaics: VfL Hameln becomes climatic!

In Hameln, a powerful partnership between the Hameln Stadtwerke Weserbergland and VfL Hameln has formed, which stands for climate protection and financial stability. On the roof of the clubhouse, the municipal utilities installed a new photovoltaic system that serves to cover the total electricity requirement of the association. This measure is not only a crucial contribution to the local energy transition, but also shows how municipal providers and sports clubs can work together to promote climate protection. According to a press release from the municipal utility, the club members benefit from regular lease income that benefits from the club's fund. Tim Corinth, commercial director of the municipal utility, emphasizes that such projects combine the commitment to the region and the promotion of sport.

a win-win situation for everyone

Hans Joachim Lüttge, from the board of VfL Hameln, explains that his own investment in a solar system for the sports club alone would not have been possible. Thanks to the lease model, you can now actively contribute to achieving the city's climate goals, while at the same time relieving your financial resources. Stadtwerke Hameln Weserbergland not only rely on renewable energies such as hydropower, solar energy and biogas, but also actively support local associations through various funding options. The crowdfunding platform of the municipal utility company enables financial support of up to 2,500 euros for club projects, which underlines the diverse use of the municipal utility for the region.

The Stadtwerke itself has already made important progress in the use of renewable energies. At the moment, 18 % of the electricity requirements in Hameln are covered from sustainable sources, with the aim of increasing this share to 30 % by 2020. These impressive statistics show the commitment of the municipal utilities for environmental protection and the improvement of the climate in the region. The partnership with VfL Hameln is an exemplary example of how local companies and clubs jointly accept the challenges of climate change and at the same time lay the basis for sustainable economic development, as can be found on the website of the municipal utility.
