Bludenz becomes renewable: foundation of the energy community decided

In the idyllic Alpine town of Bludenz, a significant decision was made that could have a lasting impact on the future of the city's energy supply. The foundation of the "Renewable Energy Community" (EEG) was officially decided, which is a great step forward in the efforts of sustainable energy production.

The EEG aims to optimize the energy supply in Bludenz by using local resources. Thanks to self -produced electricity from hydropower and photovoltaic systems, the city is intended to cover its energy requirements more efficiently. This is not only environmentally friendly, but could also reduce the cost of energy supply in the long term.

What is the renewable energy community?

The renewable energy community is a project that should enable the citizens of Bludenz to actively participate in energy production. The interplay of renewable energy sources used creates synergies that can result in cost reduction and better use of the resources.

The concept is based on the fact that locals hand in their excess energy to the community, which can then use it again. Such an approach could not only lead to less external energy deliveries, but also increase the independence of fossil fuels.

The decision to found the foundation is in the context of an increasing interest in renewable energies and its role in combating climate change. Cities worldwide are looking for paths to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels and to make their energy consumption more sustainable.

The high energy costs and uncertainties on the energy markets make the development of such initiatives even more urgent. With the EEG, Bludenz could set a model approach that may also be of interest to other communities that pursue similar goals.
