Strategy for future action in the ENNEREG regions
Experience from the ENNEREG Regions
[EN]
During the project, the ENNEREG partners have worked in the development of sustainable energy action plans (SEAP) in their represented regions and in the promotion of sustainable energy projects (SEP). The objective of this document is to present how they intend to continue their efforts after the end of the project, developing the activities planned in the regional SEAP and ensuring the attraction of the necessary resources to promote sustainable energy projects.
Some of the SEAPs defined with the support of the project have been approved by the respective administrations and others still need to be matured to be accepted at the regional level and to be implemented. Thus, the situation is not the same in every region, and the approach to work in sustainable energy is not the same either. This document summarizes the common as well as the specific aspects about how the regions expect to organize and carry on the work on sustainable energy in the next future.

Large PV installation on commercial building, Upper Palatinate Region, Germany - ENNEREG Good Practice in Renewable Energy
ENNEREG Good Practice Case Studies
[EN]
EuPD Research estimated the PV potential of commercial buildings in Germany at about 25 GW – so far only 4.8 percent have been realized.
A good example for tapping this potential is the company of Glapor from Mitterteich, Bavaria. Due to the installation of a photovoltaic system on its 13.000 square meter flat roof, Glapor is playing a pioneering role in terms of environmental protection. The annual generation of electricity about 750 MWh is resulting in a reduction of CO2 emissions of about 300 – 350 tonnes per year, thus significantly contributing to climate protection. In the future, industrial companies will not only be a current consumer – quite contrary, they will actively engage in energy transition.

Bioenergie Mitterteich GmbH & CO. KG, Upper Palatinate Region, Germany - ENNEREG Good Practice in Energy Services and Financing
ENNEREG Good Practice Case Studies
[EN]
In the Upper Palatinate excellent preconditions exist for the use of biomass due to large areas of agricultural and forest land. However, this form of energy use is clearly limited. Only an environmentally sustainable use of biomass does not endanger the protection of nature and environment.
A good example for a regional energy company offering sustainable heat and electricity for local stakeholders is the Bioenergie Mitterteich GmbH & CO. KG.
The company operates a heating installation based on biomass, which is exclusively supplied with wood chips from regional foresters. Large wood resources and short transportation distances ensure a sustainable energy supply.
Additionally to a local district heating system, Bioenergie Mitterteich GmbH & CO. KG installed 3 PV systems on public buildings in September 2012.

Energy-efficient secondary school Lappersdorf, Upper Palatinate Region, Germany - ENNEREG Good Practice in Energy Efficient Buildings
ENNEREG Good Practice Case Studies
[EN]
The EU Directive on the energy performance of buildings (Directive 2010/31/EC) obliges Member States in Article 9 to ensure that after 31 December 2018 all new buildings occupied and owned by public authorities are nearly zero-energy buildings.
The District Government of Regensburg, Bavaria, aims to fulfill this role model function by the construction of a new low carbon school building for a secondary school in Lappersdorf. The construction of this innovative building, which was finalized in September 2012, strives for achieving nearly carbon-neutrality as regards the annual generation and use of energy. Although not achieving the passive house standard in total (maximum heating demand of 15 kWh/(m²*a), heating load of max. 10 W/m²), it is an excellent example that current state-of-art technology is established for realizing nearly-zero emission buildings.

European Energy Efficiency Legislation
Policy & Legislation [EN] Reducing energy consumption and eliminating energy wastage are among the main goals of the European Union (EU). EU support for improving energy efficiency will prove decisive for competitiveness, security of supply and for meeting the commitments on climate change made under the Kyoto Protocol. There is significant potential for reducing consumption, especially in energy-intensive sectors such as buildings, manufacturing, energy conversion and transport. At the end of 2006, the EU pledged to cut its annual consumption of primary energy by 20% by 2020. To achieve this goal, it is working to mobilise public opinion, decision-makers and market operators and to set minimum energy efficiency standards and rules on labelling for products, services and infrastructure.

Darstellung des Gründungsprozesses von Energiegenossenschaften am Beispiel der KERL eG und BERR eG in der Region Regensburg, Fr. Politzka, Landratsamt Regensburg
Presentation [DE] Der Landkreis Regensburg hat im Dezember 2011 bzw. Januar 2012 zwei Energiegenossenschaften gegründet, um im Landkreis die Errichtung von Anlagen zur Erzeugung von Energie aus erneuerbaren Energien zu fördern und damit die regionalen Wirtschaftskreisläufe zu stärken. Für diese Ziele wurde zum einen die Kommunale Energie Regensburger Land eG (kurz: KERL eG) gegründet, an der sämtliche Gemeinden des Landkreises wie auch der Landkreis als eigene Gebietskörperschaft beteiligt sind. Diese Energiegenossenschaft übernimmt im Wesentlichen regionale Steuerungs- und Koordinationsaufgaben zur Projektierung möglicher Energieanlagen. Ergänzt wird diese kommunale Energiegenossenschaft durch die Bürger Energie Region Regensburger Land eG (kurz: BERR eG), an der sich Bürger- u. sonstige juristische Personen an der Finanzierung, dem Bau und Betrieb von Anlagen zur Energiegewinnung aus erneuerbaren Energien beteiligen können. Fr. Politzka stellt in ihrem Vortrag die politischen Hintergründe wie auch die Motivation und Ziele vor, die zur Gründung dieses Genossenschaftsmodells geführt haben.

WELT: Windenergie Landkreis Tirschenreuth GmbH & Co. KG - Interkommunales Modell mit Bürgerbeteiligung, Fr. Hehenberger-Risse, KEWOG Energie und Dienste GmbH
Presentation [DE] Die Bayerische Staatsregierung verfolgt bis zum Jahr 2021 das Ziel, den Anteil des durch Windenergie erzeugten Stroms am Gesamtstromverbrauch von derzeit ca. 0,6 % auf 6 bis 10% zu vervielfachen. Zur Verwirklichung dieses Ziels ist die Errichtung von mindestens 1.500 Windenergieanlagen in Bayern erforderlich. Ein wichtiges Instrument zur Sicherstellung der erforderlichen Akzeptanz dieses Windenergieausbaus ist die Planung, Errichtung und der Betrieb der neuen Anlagen über kommunale Organisationsformen, die sowohl eine Kooperation zwischen beteiligten Kommunen als auch eine angemessene Bürgerbeteiligung ermöglichen. Fr. Hehenberger-Risse stellt am Beispiel der WELT: Windenergie Landkreis Tirschenreuth GmbH & Co. KG die derzeitige Realisierung eines solchen Modells für die Region der nördlichen Oberpfalz vor.
