The state of Rhineland-Palatinate is providing funding of 150,000 euros for a local heating network in Gimbweiler, which is to be supplied in future by means of a solar thermal open-space system and a woodchip system.
"The planned local heating network will supply a total of more than 80 buildings in the village with renewable energy," says Thomas Griese, State Secretary at the Rhineland-Palatinate Ministry for the Environment, Energy, Food and Forestry (MUEEF): "This includes a sports hall and a multi-generation house. I am excited about this project, because we need the commitment of the municipalities for a successful heat and energy turnaround!"
Griese handed over the funding notification to Mayor Martin Samson for a sub-project of the local heating network: the connection lines and the house transfer stations. In addition, the Gimbweiler receives funds from the federal government from the national climate protection initiative.
In the "Nahwärmeverbund Gimbweiler", the regenerative heat is generated by two woodchip boilers and a solar thermal open-space system. The solar thermal supported heat generation in connection with two buffer storage tanks saves fuel resources in a special way and avoids CO2 emissions. A multi-generation house, a sports hall and more than 80 residential buildings are supplied with heat from renewable energies.

In a team with the architects Dietrich|Untertrifaller, the office Ramboll Studio Dreiseitl won the multiple commission from Freiburger Stadtbau GmbH for the Metzgergrün quarter. The estate is to change significantly over the next ten years and develop into a contemporary quarter with around 500 apartments, without losing its original character. The jury praised the design as follows: "This urban composition of residential courtyards, socio-spatial centre, high-quality and differentiated usable open spaces, new interconnections and correct pathways has the potential to create a model and future-oriented quarter."

WIESBADEN: In 2014, companies in Germany achieved a turnover of 3.7 billion euros with goods and services from the solar industry. Compared to 2011, the last economically strong year, this corresponds to an overall decline in turnover of 74.2% or 10.6 billion euros. The crisis in the solar industry in Germany was already apparent in previous years: turnover totalled 9.5 billion in 2012 and 5.1 billion in 2013. The declining economic importance of the solar industry in Germany is primarily due to negative developments in the photovoltaic industry. Between 2011 and 2014, sales of photovoltaic systems and components fell by 75.5 % from 13.3 to 3.3 billion euros. Turnover also fell sharply in the solar thermal sector - from 1.0 billion euros in 2011 to 0.4 billion euros in 2014. Detailed results can be found in the specialist series "Turnover in environmental protection goods and services, 2014". Further information on the survey can be found in the environmental economics section.
The German Solar Energy Society DGS has commented on the developments in a pointed manner: www.dgs.de/index.php?id=3364&type=0#13585 (5th article in the newsletter of 22 July 2016)
