www.new4-0.de Innovation alliance of Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein for the future energy system 2 3 A unique innovation alliance of businesspersons, scientists and politicians has emerged in Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein under the title »NEW 4.0«. In a major cross-regional project, it is to be shown how the region as a whole, with 4.5 million inhabitants, can be solely supplied with regenerative power – 100% safely and reliably – as early as 2035. »NEW« stands for the Northern German Energy Transition (Norddeutsche EnergieWende) and »4.0« describes the threshold of the fourth indus- trial revolution: the digitalisation of industry and the intelligent networking of systems within the framework of the energy transition. The project is planned to last 4 years – from 2016 to 2020. NEW 4.0 aims to implement sustainable energy supply and thus strengthen the sustainability of the region. Approximately 60 partners in the region bring together all the necessary expertise and problem-solving potential to advance the energy transition in the north decisively. 2 3 The model region Share of RE power generation in Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein form an optimal able to cover its requirements almost completely from gross power consumption: model region for the »Smart Energy Showcases – regenerative sources and is thus becoming an ever more Digital Agenda for the Energy Transition« funding frequent power exporter.
