Methodology Energy-planning on a regional scale in the Allgäu depends isn´t yet established. Formal structures for energy planning are partly integrated in regional planning and also in the special planning on LAU 1 and LAU 2 level. Regional planning focuses until today only on high voltage electricity energy infrastructure and the planning of the location of Wind Power plants. A determination of regional energy demand as a base for the planning of energy infrastructures has not been implemented yet, even though the German “Energiewende” would actually require such information on a regional scale to enable regions to create the appropriate energy supply infrastructures basing on renewable energy sources in a decentralized manner. The Regional energy concept within CEP-REC fills this lack of information and will implement its results in formal regional planning as far as possible. The determination of regional energy demand was carried out in following governance structures on a NUTS 3 level for the Landkreis Unterallgäu, (DE27C), Landkreis Oberallgäu, (DE27E), Landkreis Lindau (Bodensee), (DE27A), Landkreis Ostallgäu, (DE27B), City of Kempten, (Code DE273), City of Kaufbeuren (Code DE272) and the City of Memmingen (Code DE274). The regional energy demand assessment was based on three columns. First column is a general evaluation and collection of structural statistical data, e.g. from official statistics like the Bavarian statistical office (Bayerisches Landesamt für Statistik). Second column is a raw data survey amongst the regional energy suppliers concerning e.g. regional gas and electricity demand. To get also information about not conduit based energy demand the national database on renewable energies part of the German “Erneuerbare Energien Gesetz” (renewable energy law) was consulted and analyzed referring to the geographical borders of the German model region Allgäu. The third column is a detailed data survey amongst the municipalities in the model region, which could partly base on already existing database of small scale municipality energy demand analysis. 3sCE417P3 – Action 3.1.3 Regional energy demand report Introduction of Regional Energy Concepts 3 Figure 1 - Methodology of energy demand assessment (Source: eza!) eza! as regional energy agency is working mainly for smaller local administrative units on a LAU1 and LAU2 level. Detailed energy demand side analysis for smaller towns and villages in the Allgäu was therefore partly already introduced by so called “Climate protection plans”, in fact sustainable energy action plans (SEAP), on local scale in 2009,2010 and then in 2011. This evaluation data had to be updated and integrated in the results of the demand side analysis for the overall regional analysis of energy demand. 3sCE417P3 – Action 3.1.3 Regional energy demand report Introduction of Regional Energy Concepts 4 1. Consideration for Energy demand modelling 1.1. Description of the concept region Description of the Concept Region Name: Allgäu (engl.: Algovia) position within the European Union division NUTS2 : Schwaben per NUTS NUTS 3: Landkreis Unterallgäu, (DE27C), Landkreis Oberallgäu, (DE27E), Landkreis Lindau (Bodensee), (DE27A), Landkreis Ostallgäu, (DE27B), City of Kempten, (Code DE273), City of Kaufbeuren (Code DE272), City of Memmingen (Code DE274) Population profile – number of inhabitants 644.571 Source of information : EUROSTAT 2011 – regions in the European Union Among the Bavarian regions the ´Allgäu´ (engl.: Allgovia) is known as landscape in the Southern German region Swabia. It represents the south of Bavarian Swabia and seen in the context of the regional historical development it includes also parts of South East of Baden- Württemberg. The region stretches from the pre-alpine lands up to the Alps. The region is well introduced as touristic region for winter skiing and popular also for therapeutic stays. Besides this definition of the region Allgovia I a broader sense for CEP-REC project the model region has been related to the follwing NUTS 3 units as listed: 1. Landkreis Unterallgäu, (DE27C), 2. Landkreis Oberallgäu, (DE27E), 3. Landkreis Lindau (Bodensee), (DE27A), 4. Landkreis Ostallgäu, (DE27B), 5. City of Kempten, (Code DE273), 6. City of Kaufbeuren (Code DE272), 7. City of Memmingen (Code DE274) 3sCE417P3 – Action 3.1.3 Regional energy demand report Introduction of Regional Energy Concepts 5 Figure 2 - Map of model region Allgäu (Source: Allgäu GmbH) Since regional stakeholders and politicians focused on the necessity to build up more regional structures in January 2011 the so called Allgäu GmbH was founded. It was a fusion of pre-existing structures coping with tourism and regional development called Allgäu Marketing GmbH und Allgäu Initiative GbR. The Allgäu GmbHs main working topics are actually regional management of tourism, location development and regional management for the Allgäu. Due to an initiative of the Allgäu GmbH the regional energy concept was started “Energiezukunft Allgäu” financed by the ERDF fund in April 2012 with the aim to develop a regional strategy based on detailed data evaluation on energy demand and energy supply. 3sCE417P3 – Action 3.1.3 Regional energy demand report Introduction of Regional Energy Concepts 6 Within the Allgäu LAU1 and LAU2 local administrative units coordinated by their own specific NUTS administrations the Landkreise, have been (see also chapter Fehler!

In particular these are: 1. Landkreis Unterallgäu, (DE27C) – 2010 a. Babenhausen b. Winterrieden c. Pfaffenhausen d. Mindelheim e. Bad Wörishofen f. Ottobeuren g.
