The Ministry for the Environment, Climate and Energy Management of Baden-Württemberg is again supporting investments in photovoltaic systems in combination with battery storage with a total of five million euros in the coming year.
It is thus responding to the enormous demand. Since the launch of the "Grid-serving photovoltaic battery storage" funding programme in March of this year, over 2,500 applications have been received. The programme is part of the state government's solar offensive. It ends on 31 December 2019.
"The expansion of battery storage systems has increased significantly. This benefits the climate and the economy in the state. It is important to me to maintain this momentum," said Environment and Energy Minister Franz Untersteller in Stuttgart today (14 December). The state is therefore happy to support investments in solar battery storage.
The Ministry of the Environment draws attention to the fact that the subsidy rates will decrease as planned on 1 January 2019. From the new year, there will be a subsidy of 200 euros (instead of the previous 300 euros) per kWh for storage units in connection with a photovoltaic system with a nominal output of up to 30 kilowatt peak, and 300 euros (instead of 400 euros) per kWh for larger storage units.
As a result of an expert hearing, new funding conditions will apply from 1 February 2019. Investors will receive a bonus of 500 euros for grid-serving charging stations for electric vehicles. The bonus for forecast-based battery management systems, on the other hand, will no longer apply. Photovoltaic systems between ten and 14 kilowatt peak will receive an additional one-time subsidy of 400 euros from the Ministry. Further changes concern the minimum installation ratio and the active power limitation. In addition, the support programme will be opened up to farmers.

The aim is to redesign a 100% CO2-neutral neighbourhood.
To this end, a first building complex with approx. 25 buildings (113 residential units) and approx. 10 commercial units is to be converted in a climate-neutral manner between 2016 and 2018 and a first representative microgrid is to be developed in the quarter. In addition to office units, there will also be restaurants, workshops and a municipal gymnasium. So to speak "normal life", as one finds in most building complexes of this kind. In addition to the approx. 250 residents, approx. 80 employees as well as employers and house owners must be involved in the transformation process.
In addition to the energy supply, we want to develop new sustainable mobility options for people. The aim is to achieve more flexible, cost-effective and environmentally friendly mobility through the increased use of shared infrastructure in conjunction with sharing systems and the additional use of electric vehicles as temporary energy storage units.
The aim is to make this pilot ready for swarming after realisation in 2018 and a further year of test operation and to transfer it to the entire district in the years 2020 to 2030, thus creating the blueprint for a transformation in Wuppertal.

To date, the "Hoher Weg" eco-settlement in Hamm, with 120 residential units, is the second largest timber housing estate in Germany. This is astonishing because it was already built in the 1990s.
The photos were taken in August 2017:

The largest German timber housing estate was also built in Hamm:

at the Sustainable Procurement Symposium in Dortmund on 26 August 2021
The Sustainable Procurement Day is a platform for exchange for procurers and decision-makers from municipalities, private and public institutions as well as churches and companies. Federal Environment Minister Svenja Schulze is the patron. The Agency for Renewable Resources e. V. (FNR), project management agency of the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture, will be represented with a workshop on the topic of "Public building and renovation with wood - the right way to tender for timber construction projects" in addition to the stand "The renewable office".
Climate-friendly construction, renovation and insulation with sustainable materials is becoming more and more common practice in public building projects as well. Sustainable municipal management includes the building sector - keyword climate-neutral municipality/administration. Wood as a building material has become the focus of attention in recent years, and there are many reasons for this: Wood stores CO2Depending on the degree of prefabrication, it can considerably shorten construction times and, due to its low dead weight, is ideal for adding storeys, e.g. in the case of redensification in urban development.
However, in order to successfully launch public timber construction projects, a targeted award procedure is crucial. This is because even during the planning and tendering stages, it is important to take into account the significant differences compared to solid construction, e.g. in terms of timing, the submission of building applications and the timely involvement of timber construction expertise.
Participation in the symposium and the FNR construction contracting workshop is free of charge. Registration is required.
When: 26 August 2021, 11:30 - 12:45 hrs
Where: Dortmund, Sustainable Procurement Day, Westfalenhallen (North Entrance), Strobelallee 45, 44139 Dortmund
Who? Buyers, procurers, staff from building offices, contracting & building contracting officers
Registration: https://nachhaltige-beschaffung.org/tickets
Further information:
The workshop complements the current FNR seminar series "On course for the future: public building with wood", which is carried out within the framework of the Charter for Wood 2.0 and in cooperation with the municipal umbrella organisations and the Wood Information Service. The offer is free of charge. Further information on the seminar series can be found at: https://veranstaltungen.fnr.de/holzbau.
