8 (Joint)Communities German Federal state of Lower Saxony 74.000 inhabitants, 765 qkm

Our Targets: …get a 100%-EE+ Region

(electricity and heat) … foster the regional added

value creation … reach a high level of

citizen participation

2. Overviev of Activities in the A.L.T. 1996 - 2005

1996: Start of Cooperation of the Communities in the A.L.T.

1996: Foundation of the „Projekt Group Renewable Energies“

1998 - 2001: common local Planning „Wind Energy“

2001: Installation of a „Citizen Wind Turbine“ – 61 participators

2001 - 2005: around 30 Projects focusing Solar Energie

2005: Opening the Bicycle-Theme-Route with 44 Stations for Tourists and local interested People: „A.L.T.-EnergieRoute“

Public Relation (Press, Internet, Events)

Many Projects focusing Energy Savings 6

2. Overviev of Activities in the A.L.T. since 2006

2006/07: Modification of the Street Lighnings with Energy Saving Lamps – Result: around 40% savings

2008 - 2010: Climate Protection Concept for 114 public Buildings (Energy Savings and implementation of Renewable Energies)

2010/11: Energy-Study for the 8 communities in the A.L.T.

2011: Establishment of a Energy Cooperative not successful

2011: Study for the Utilization of Geothermal Energy in the A.L.T.

Since 2010: Cooperation with the „Echo-Gruppe“ (Steering Group) of the German project „100ee-Regionen“

2012: Employment of a Climate Protection Manager 7

EnergieRegion+ Aller-Leine-Tal

3. Who is active in Climate Protection in the A.L.T.?

Project Group Renewable Energies (citizens, craftsmen, farmers, foresters, representatives from local government and administration)

„Steering Group Energy“ for the Implementation of the Energy Study (Mayors of the 8 Communities in the A.L.T, regional und supra-regional representatives of different disciplines, representatives of the Project Group Renewable Energies)

Each Administration has named 1 Energy Commissioner These 8 Energy Commissioners form a Working Group called

„A.L.T. Arbeitskreis der Energiebeauftragten“ One Common Climate Protection Manager for all 8 Communities 75 Citizens operate 1 „Citizen Wind Turbine“ + 1 „Citizen PV Plant“

(communities have a share) 8

4. How do the actors in the A.L.T. work together?

Project Group Renewable Energies: operates independently, is supported by the communities.

Important for Public Relations. Core Group circa 10 Persons. Individual Projects up to 50 Persons.

Citizen Energy Cooperative: collects money in the Region for Energy Projects. High level of acceptance in the population.

„Steering Group Energy“: Implementation of the Energy Study + cross linking the Activities for Climate Protection. Meets 3 – 4 times each year. Votes common Activites of the Communities. No decision-making power, no money.

Tasks Energy Commissioner + Climate Protection Manager: Implementation of municipal Energy Measures 10

EnergieRegion+ Aller-Leine-Tal

A Citizen Energy Cooperative operates with 75 Participators

the PV-Plant (capacity 50 kW/p) on a school

the Citizen Wind Turbine (capacity 2,3 MW)11

6. Next Steps3 Pilot Projects focusing Heat:- Utilization of Geothermal Energy- Utilization of the Wood Potetials and other Biomass in

the A.L.T. - Utilization of Heat from the Aller River Target is the Transferability to other Regions

Challanges for the next Years:- Decrease of the Heat Demand / partly switch to RES- Support to switch to RES by the communities- More Networking Activities in the A.L.T. Very im portant is the participation of citizens!
