\"The building sector is responsible for around one third of all CO2<\/sub>-emissions in Germany. To achieve a climate-neutral building stock by 2050, the energy refurbishment of existing buildings alone is not enough,\" explains Michael Zahn, CEO of Deutsche Wohnen SE. \"We also need to exploit the technological possibilities for CO2<\/sub>-Reduction to the fullest and open up the opportunity for our tenants to live sustainably.\"<\/p>\n Together with GETEC, Deutsche Wohnen will in future jointly develop offers for green tenant electricity and electric mobility for its tenants. As an important contribution to the energy transition in the big city, the companies want to promote decentralised power supply by means of photovoltaic (PV) systems in the neighbourhoods. Around 1,000 PV systems will be installed on the roofs of Deutsche Wohnen's properties - the first 20 will go into operation this year. The electricity generated by these systems will be directly available to the tenants in the buildings as green tenant electricity, without first being fed through the grid. This conserves resources and relieves the strain on electricity grids. Even small solar systems with a peak output of 38 kilowattsPeak<\/sub> (kWP<\/sub>) save around 14 tonnes of CO2<\/sub> in. In Deutsche Wohnen's portfolios, the savings potential thus amounts to a total of around 14,000 tonnes of CO2<\/sub> annually.<\/p>\n \"Deutsche Wohnen has been investing in improving the carbon footprint of its properties for years. The expansion of photovoltaics is the next logical step towards climate-neutral living and working. We will invest around 50 million euros in this over the next ten years,\" says Michael Zahn.<\/p>\n In the future, the decentrally generated electricity will also be used to charge e-vehicles in the respective residential complexes, among other things. Together with GETEC, Deutsche Wohnen intends to set up more than 2,000 charging points across Germany. Planning for the first joint charging infrastructure projects has already begun. The investment volume amounts to approximately 25 million euros.<\/p>\n \"Together with Deutsche Wohnen, we are creating needs-based electric charging infrastructure in neighbourhoods across Germany, sending a clear signal for the mobility turnaround,\" says Dr Karl Gerhold, managing partner of GETEC Energie Holding GmbH, underlining the aims of the collaboration.<\/p>\n Deutsche Wohnen and GETEC will establish the joint company SYNVIA mobility GmbH for the construction and operation of electric charging stations. The electricity generated in the districts will be marketed by the new joint company SYNVIA energy GmbH.<\/p>\n Source: Deutsche Wohnen PM dated 29 September 2020<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \"The building sector is responsible for around one third of all CO2<\/sub>-emissions in Germany.
