Energy autonomy for Tyrol: Mother and other communities excellent
Energy autonomy for Tyrol: Mother and other communities excellent
The district of Innsbruck-Land was honored for its advanced measures in the field of energy efficiency as part of a solemn gala, which was organized by the Tyrolean state government and the energy agency Tirol. The event emphasizes the important role of the communities, which act as a direct contact with the population and actively contribute to achieving the goal of covering the entire energy requirement by 2050. Tyrol plans to completely do without fossil fuels, and the municipalities are a key to this project.MURTS, one of the excellent communities, has made remarkable progress as part of the E5 campaign program and won three E’s. From an early age, the community promotes awareness of environmental protection and sustainable practices through projects such as "Nature in the Garden" and the "blooming village streets". The financial support, which takes up a top position at 17 euros per inhabitant and year, should also be emphasized. In addition, the drinking water supply is secured by an in -house power plant, and the establishment of an energy community in 2024 should offer the residents further incentives.
The role of energy pioneers
The award was accepted by Vice Mayor Michael Saischek and shows the pioneering of the community in energy policy. Deputy Governor and Energy Councilor Josef Geisler praised the E5 communities as strong players in the energy transition and stated: "The E5 communities are not only pioneers of the energy transition, but also translate the energy transition from theory into practice." For over 26 years, these communities have been contributing valuable contributions to energy efficiency and climate protection by integrating these topics into the everyday life of the population.
With a revised catalog of criteria, a slowner audit process is sought, which is intended to centralize the data acquisition by reducing the evaluation criteria from over 60 to around 40 criteria. This procedure is intended to reduce the effort for the municipalities and release resources for the implementation of measures. This enables an overview of the progress of the municipalities in relation to the energy and climate goals at both state and federal level.
energy advice and support
As part of the E5 state program, Tyrol's municipalities receive comprehensive support from the Tyrol energy agency. This includes the analysis of the current energetic state as well as the planning and annual evaluation of measures. Each E5 community can fall back on the expertise of an E5 consultant, which is available for questions throughout the year. The regular audit process is also accompanied by the energy agency, which helps to promote the transparency and effectiveness of the implemented projects.
A total of 14 municipalities successfully went through the audit in 2024 and were awarded the E5 gala. These services show that the Tyrolean communities are well positioned to master the challenges of the energy transition in the future.
The energy agency Tirol is available for further information and insights to continue to support the municipalities in their initiatives in the future. Details on the progress and programs can be called up on the website of the energy agency in order to get a deeper insight into the exciting developments in the region.
