Growth resistance wealth dimensions of regional energy space policy BMBF project – renewable energies – Energy Transition – acceptance radar – innovation management Growth, resistance, wealth as dimensions of regional energy space policy In Germany, the Energy Transition and the Renewable Energy Law have considerably increased the demand for facility spots and bio mass production in rural areas. It is now Project name: important for the municipalities to verify which renewable energies can best be produced Growth, resistance, wealth as dimensions of on which grounds under technical, ecological, economical and acceptance-aspects. regional energy space policy inter 3 is developing the necessary instruments together with local partners from three Contact: regions as well as the TU Berlin, the BTU Cottbus and the University of Anhalt. Dr. Susanne Schön (overall coordination and innovations management) Tel.: +49(0)30 34 34 74 52 Supporting reasonable ground usage for the production of renewable Client: energies Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) Until 2016, the team will be researching on assignment from the BMBF in the city of Local partners: Uebigau-Wahrenbrück (Brandenburg) as well as in the administrative districts of Elbe-Elster c/o mayor of the city of Wittenberg (Sachsen-Anhalt) und Tirschenreuth (Bayern) to answer the question how Uebigau-Wahrenbrück Wittenberg c/o suitable spaces can optimally be used and which political processes and reforms are administrative district of Wittenberg needed for those. The team of researchers is establishing instruments for the assessment Tirschenreuth c/o administrative district of Tirschenreuth of regional energy use and the technically, socio-economically and ecologically reasonable value generation from scarce grounds for the usage of renewable energies. Scientific Partners: BTU Cottbus Those are being imbedded into (inter-)communal political processes in order to organize Hochschule Anhalt (FU) the development of renewable energies in the long run in an ecological, economical and TU Berlin socially stable way. Locations: Districts of Wittenberg/Elbe-Elster/Tirschenreuth Measuring potentials for usage, exploring acceptance, developing Duration: 2013 – 2016 instruments for regional wealth Concretely, an optimal ground usage in the model regions is to be supported through the development of concepts for space regulation. A geological information system (GIS) displays which areas are available for the usage of which renewable energies. An energy demand reporting procedure calculates in how far the regional energy demand can be covered by renewable energies. With the acceptance and wealth radar developed by inter 3, acceptance and wealth effects of different ground use variants for the usage of renewable energies can be gathered and evaluated comparatively. Eventually, a GIS based instrument for the usage of areas will be available for municipalities, which allows them to take part in the energy efficient value creation in the growth market of renewable energies. inter 3 GmbH Otto-Suhr-Allee 59 10585 Berlin Tel.: +49.30.343474-40 Fax: +49.30.343474-50 [email protected] www.inter3.de.
