Energy revolution: The new power of citizens for a sustainable future!

On January 29, 2025, the “Creative Energy” event, which was organized by Ourpower, took place in Vienna, a movement that specializes in the decentralized and community energy supply. Here, members of the Ourpower community, committed citizens: inside and pioneer: inside of renewable energies came together to develop innovative concepts for just and sustainable energy future. Hemma Bieser, the Ourpower officer, emphasized in a lively panel discussion of how crucial the individual initiative for change in energy supply is, as was emphasized in a corresponding report on Oekonews.at.

inspiring approaches and creative solutions

An outstanding example from the event was Johann Moser, an artist and co -founder of Ourpower, who, through his exhibition "Visual Stories", demonstrated impressively how art and renewable energy are interwoven. The physicist and energy expert Johannes Schmidl also presented his work "About the dignity of the glaciers", which shows that the understanding of a sustainable future begins in the head. The head of the Bürgeren energy in Germany, Katharina Habersbrunner, highlighted the importance of energy communities and how citizens: Interior active partners: can become the solution of energy issues.

Another urgent topic was the integration of young people to the energy sector. Ourpower is actively working on creating opportunities so that young people can better share in local energy communities, be it through crowdfunding or as a green entrepreneur: inside. This goes hand in hand with the plan to expand the Ourpower marketplace to facilitate the participation of young people, as explained in the blog article by Ourpower.Coop. In the various project regions there are already initiatives to exchange ideas between young people, local decision -makers: inside and scientists: to promote inside.
