Kulmbach starts Solarpark II: Citizens invest in green energy!

Kulmbach, Deutschland - In Kulmbach, the energy transition is pushed full of strength! On December 6, 2024, the starting signal for crowdinvesting was given to the new solar park "Neue Energie Kulmbach II", an ambitious project by Stadtwerke Kulmbach in cooperation with Münch Energie. Mayor Ingo Lehmann was enthusiastic about the progress: "We are making a strong sign of sustainable energy generation in our region." With this new solar park, around 12,000 households are to be supplied with green electricity annually, while at the same time the pasture areas are used for open -air pigs, alpacas and sheep, such as kulmbach.de

The innovative crowdinvesting enables citizens from the postcode area 95326 to invest between € 100 and € 25,000 and to benefit from attractive interest rates of up to 5 % per year. This participation not only offers financial incentives, but also promotes awareness of regional, sustainable energy projects. The success of the first solar project in Grafendobrach creates trust and motivates the citizens to actively participate in this future -oriented step. The Stadtwerke Kulmbach also rely on the close cooperation with local partners to further expand the regenerative energy generation, such as "https://www.stadtwerke-kulmbach.de/index.php?id=179&tx_ttnews%5BT_NEWS%5D=98"> Stadtwerke-kulmbach.de

a step into the future

This solar park not only represents an important project for the city, but also an important step to increase the proportion of regenerative electricity in Kulmbach. With a combination of roof surface and open space systems, the city aims to significantly increase the use of solar energy and at the same time promote local added value. The new approach also includes a pilot plant that is to be realized in cooperation with Münch Energie in order to gain practical experience in the field of solar -based energy generation. This illustrates the determination of Kulmbach to actively work on the design of sustainable and environmentally friendly energy future.
