Energy transition in Ense: Who is the self -sufficiency of the community?

Ense, Deutschland - The municipality of Ense is getting closer to the self -sufficiency in the power supply through renewable energies. With a clear focus on wind power, biogas and photovoltaics, political groups discuss how much more is necessary to achieve the energy goals and at the same time protect the quality of life of the citizens. "We generate more clean electricity than we consume," emphasizes Stefani Konstanti, group leader of the Greens. The Greens see the greatest potential, especially in wind power, while the CDU sees the land use as crucial and indicates the need for intelligent storage systems in order to increase the independence of external suppliers.

Despite the positive prospects for renewable energies, there are also concerns. In addition to possible changes in the landscape and the effects on the wildlife, broad citizen participation is seen as the key to acceptance. The SPD emphasizes that a mixture of different types of energy is most sensible, while the FDP refers to the conditions on site. "Healthy diversification is important for sustainable energy future," adds Michael Heierhoff from the SPD. This intensive discussion shows how important the handling of renewable energies will be for the community, whereby the citizens should always be in focus.
