International agreements and implementation programmes to limit climate change will take account of the importance of cities in the CO2-reduction, as solutions that are primarily aimed at the national level dominate.

On Monday, 17 July 2017, a symbolic ground-breaking ceremony took place for the IBA's flagship project on the Stadtwerke Heidelberg site in Pfaffengrund. Heidelberg's Lord Mayor Prof. Dr. Eckart Würzner, Heidelberg's First Mayor Jürgen Odszuck, Dr. Rudolf Irmscher, Managing Director of Stadtwerke Heidelberg, Michael Teigeler, Managing Director of Stadtwerke Heidelberg Energie and project partners - accompanied by 180 guests - gave the symbolic starting signal for the project. The energy and future storage facility of Stadtwerke Heidelberg was recently awarded a prize as a project of the International Building Exhibition (IBA): On the recommendation of the international board of trustees, the IBA supervisory board has selected the energy and future storage facility as one of the projects that the IBA Heidelberg will continue to support intensively and whose challenging realisation is now pending. With LAVA-Laboratory for visionary architecture and A24 Landschaftsarchitekten (both Berlin), an international, innovative architectural firm won the competition. During a round of talks at the ground-breaking ceremony, the managing director of the IBA Heidelberg, Prof. Michael Braum, and Jürgen Odszuck presented the IBA project certificate to Michael Teigeler. The storage facility is scheduled to go into operation by the end of 2019.
