Fate of the 1st Landsberger Bürgerkraftwerk: Future in the suspension

The future energy supply in Landsberg

The Landsberg community faces an uncertain future , Since the city's first civic power plant that is installed on the roof of the vocational schools, possibly facing the end. This solar system has been reliably delivering green energy for 18 years, but now the continued operation is under question.

The shareholders of the power plant have decided to end the lease with the district and to have discussions with it about a possible takeover of the system. This decision is based on the fact that the feed -in tariff for renewable energies will drop dramatically from 2027, which could make the economic operation of the power plant difficult.

A proposal for the rescue of the citizens' power plant comes from Jörg Roth, a co -partner who regrets that there are no more opportunities for citizens to participate in such projects. He pleads for the creation of other citizen power plants in the city that can be financed and used by the community.

opportunities for civil engagement and innovative energy models

In order to make energy supply sustainably and to involve the citizens more, Power Purchase Agreements (PPAS) could be a solution outside of their own place of residence. These agreements would enable residents to include the electricity generated in their own energy consumption, regardless of where it comes from.

This approach could also help improve the financial profitability of smaller energy systems. It turns out that direct use and marketing of the electricity generated is often more efficient than selling to external network operators.

The future of energy supply in Landsberg remains uncertain, but the discussion about innovative models and citizen participation indicates promising approaches to drive the energy transition in the community.
