Together in a green future: Kumberg and St. Ruprecht start Eegs

Kumberg and St. Ruprecht an der Raab have taken a significant step towards a sustainable energy future. Together with the EG Austria, Renewable Energy Associations (EEGS) were launched that facilitate access to regional green electricity to residents and companies. This initiative not only means an effective switch to renewable energy sources, but also the chance of cheaper electricity tariffs.

The foundation of this EEGS marks a milestone on the way to the municipalities's energy self -sufficiency. In information events that took place at the beginning of November, the EEGS concept was presented by the energy experts Thomas Zeinzinger and Stefan Mussger. The lively interest population had the opportunity to find out more about the advantages of membership. Zeinzinger emphasized that members benefit from a risk of free access to green electricity from sustainable sources without being necessary to change suppliers or a long -term bond.

easy participation for all

With just one euro per month, members can benefit from attractive reference tariffs that are currently at 10.7 cents per kWh. You will also receive advantages from feed -in remuneration. The responsibility and management of the EEGS are in the hands of the EC Austria, which guarantee a transparent and reliable infrastructure. The EEGs are created as non -profit associations, which offers members security in the handling of their energy supply.

political support from the mayors of both communities. Franz Nöhrer, the mayor of St. Ruprecht an der Raab, was positive about the committed cooperation with the EG Austria and the transparency of the project: "After a year of intensive exploring, it was clear: The EC Austria offers our community the most convincing concept to establish an energy community safely and transparently." His colleague from Kumberg, Franz Gruber, emphasized the importance of the joint project, which aims to incorporate citizens and companies on an equal footing in the process of the energy transition. "Together we create the energy transition and all use the same benefits from our energy community," said Gruber during an information event.

Participation in the EEGS is open to all - both private individuals and companies can register and take part in it easily. Detail information and future appointments for further information events are accessible on the EG Austria website.

The EG Austria itself is a nationwide initiative that is committed to promoting renewable energies. It combines a variety of energy communities and thus creates a strong network for citizens, companies and municipalities to actively contribute to the energy transition in Austria. This cooperation ensures that the members can benefit from favorable conditions when using renewable energies.

Overall, this project shows the potential of the municipalities of Kumberg and St. Ruprecht, independently and sustainably. The new renewable energy facilities could make an important contribution to reducing CO2 emissions and help to reduce the dependency on external energy providers. Citizens are asked to take advantage of this opportunity and actively participate in the energy transition, which could not only make their living environment more environmentally friendly, but also potentially more cost -saving.
