What to bring to the local climate protection concepts? "The climate is in the interest of the municipalities, since they thereby obtain an environmental air supply, Tag sustainability. Middle to long term, is it worth it economically." From 50 to 100 measures in a climate concept, some are highly economical, others more flagship projects, which hardly counted, says Bieber. Since 2008, these concepts are subsidized by the federal government up to 65 percent. "The success lies solely in the promotion." Before the promotion was introduced, there was virtually no demand.

Example calculations for the contract period

The annual energy costs for a community heat and power would be in the € 200,000.

Energy saving example 5%

Energy costs € 10,000

fixed basic amount e.g. 3% fixed basic fee E & B € -6,000

Profit-sharing example 50 % contingency fee E & B Max. € 4,000

Community saving € 0

Energy saving example 7%

Energy costs € 14,000

fixed basic amount e.g. 3% fixed basic fee E & B € -6,000

Profit-sharing example 50 % contingency fee E & B € -7,000

Community saving € 1000

Energy saving example 10%

Energy costs € 20,000

fixed basic amount e.g. 3% fixed basic fee E & B - € 6000

Profit-sharing example 50 % contingency fee E & B € -10,000

Community saving € 4000

Energy saving example 12 %

Energy costs € 24,000

fixed basic amount e.g. 3% fixed basic fee E & B € -6,000

Profit-sharing example 50 % contingency fee E & B € -12,000

Profit-sharing example 25 % contingency fee E & B € -1,000

Community saving € 7000

In the worst case, the municipality has no savings , but also no cost ! It gets free in any case

a complete energy data collection of its objects

to enter into an energy controlling

an energy management software

a detailed vulnerability analysis and optimization proposals.

In the best case, the municipality in the 3 years contract also saves already some € 1,000.
