CSU calls for new energy management: regional change in the Lower Main!
Nowadays, when the energy transition is in full swing, the CSU environmental working group in the Miltenberg district is pushing for the establishment of regional energy management. This initiative follows the recent decision by the Lower Main Regional Planning Association to designate areas for wind energy use. How my-news.de reports, Christian Schreck, the head of the CSU-AG Environment, wants to strategically link all available forms of energy.
The focus is on the integration of photovoltaics, wind power and hydrogen production, as well as mobility and the needs of industry. Björn Bartels, the joint district administrator candidate of the CSU and Neue Mitte, also supports regional energy management. The Regional Energy Plant (REW) on the Lower Main is seen not only as an electricity generator, but as a pivotal point for a holistic energy supply.
Comprehensive energy management
In order to cover future energy needs, the concept aims to make extensive use of renewable energies. The following aspects are of central importance:
- Nutzung von Agri-Photovoltaik zur doppelten Verwendung landwirtschaftlicher Flächen.
- Windkraft auf neu ausgewiesenen Flächen, wobei ökologische und gesellschaftliche Belange berücksichtigt werden.
- Vernetzung regionaler Verbraucher, Gewerbe und Industrie durch intelligente Netze.
- Einsatz moderner Speichertechnologien, wie der Organic-SolidFlow-Technologie von CMBlue in Alzenau.
- Ausbau der Schnelladeinfrastruktur für PKW, LKW und Busse, um eine Kassiert mit lokal erzeugter Energie zu gewährleisten.
- Entwicklung von Wasserstoff-Technologien einschließlich Elektrolyseanlagen und H₂-Tankstellen.
- Die ZENTEC in Großwallstadt soll als Schlüsselakteur die Forschung, Wirtschaft und Energieprojekte fördern.
- Auch der öffentliche Personennahverkehr (ÖPNV) und kommunale Flotten sollen elektrisch oder wasserstoffbetrieben werden.
Martin Stock, a member of the state parliament, emphasizes that well-thought-out energy management links the issues of security of supply, economic strength and climate protection. Karl Zimmermann warns that it is essential to finally act regionally instead of getting lost in individual measures. The mayor of Klingenberg, Ralf Reichwein, calls for joint and practical action in order to be prepared for the future.
Renewable energies in Germany
The numbers prove the importance of renewable energies: In 2024, around 256 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions will be avoided, most of which come from the electricity sector. Since 1990, renewable energies have established themselves as a mainstay of energy supply in Germany and now employ over 406,000 people.
So it remains exciting to see how regional energy management will develop and what paths communities will take to resolutely face the challenges of climate change.
