Internationales Forschungszentrum für Erneuerbare Energien e.V. und die Gemeinde Vechelde 2. Forum on Energy Transition in Germany Friday, June 29 2012 16:30 – 19:30 Venue: Kraftfeld (Powerfield) Vechelde, Fabrikstr. 6 in 38159 Vechelde Organisers: IFEED e.V. - Community Vechelde Ladies and Gentlemen, The term "energy revolution" stands for the dawn of the new energy era of renewable energy and energy efficiency. As a result of the disaster in Japan, the Federal Government has decided the speedy and final phase-out of use of nuclear energy. The aim of the Act on Granting Priority to Renewable Energy from 12.22.2011 is in the interest of the climate and environment. This will enable sustainable development of energy supply and gradually increase to 80% the share of renewables in the electricity supply up to 2050. This is a much longer time and a very ambitious goal, and thus one of the biggest challenges in the 21st Century to secure the future of subsequent generations. On this basis, states and municipalities are now also required to make their contribution to the implementation of energy policy. Decentralized energy production is an essential building block for the power supply on site. The municipalities will receive this new perspective and learn to strengthen their local supply. Last year the first Forum was held with international participation, and the 2nd Forum will deal with the regional implementation for the energy transition to inform the citizens about the current situation and offer them the opportunity to participate in discussions. We cordially invite you to attend. Admission is free. Sincerely yours, Hartmut Marotz Hartmut Marotz Prof. Dr. El Bassam Bürgermeister Leiter IFEED 2.
