Documentary (2015) "Who owns the city" Heliosgelände Köln

2.35 min, 26.01.2015, broadcast on 5.7.2016 on ZDF

Documentary film by Anna Ditges

When a major investor announces plans to build a shopping mall on a former industrial site in the middle of Cologne-Ehrenfeld, citizens' protests are heard. In her feature film "WEM GEHÖRT DIE STADT - Bürger in Bewegung" (90 min., 2014), filmmaker Anna Ditges tells of an existential confrontation between people with very different, often incompatible lifestyles and values on the Helios site in Cologne. "In the tension between commitment, self-interest and the creation of meaning, it explores the question of how democracy can function in everyday life and how much political responsibility one's own home means to each individual."

EnergiespeicherPLUS - Berlin funding programme for electricity storage goes online

The aim of the EnergiespeicherPLUS programme is to drive forward the expansion of photovoltaics in Berlin and to increase the share of renewable energies in electricity consumption, even in times of low sun and low wind. This benefits climate protection, as CO ₂ -emissions can be avoided. The Berlin Energy and Climate Protection Programme provides subsidies for the investment costs of electricity storage systems if a photovoltaic system is installed at the same time. The
IBB Business Team GmbH implements the program. Since 1 January 2020, an electronic application for funding can now be submitted quickly and easily to the IBB Business Team GmbH under www.energiespeicherplus.de be put.

Energy Senator Ramona PopEvery Berliner can make a contribution to the energy transition in our capital city. We support this with our Energy Storage PLUS funding programme. I am pleased about the great interest. Since October, over 200 preliminary applications have already been submitted. Every new photovoltaic system helps us get one step closer to our goal of becoming climate neutral."

We subsidise the purchase and commissioning of solar energy storage systems of up to 15,000 euros. If the storage system has a forecast-based operating strategy, a bonus of 300 euros is added. The prerequisite for a subsidy is that a photovoltaic system is purchased and commissioned at the same time as the storage system. The subsidy can be combined with other funding, e.g. from the Funding programme for business-oriented electromobility or from the green roof funding programme, can be combined. All owners of buildings in Berlin can apply for the funding.
