The Rollberg Neighborhood – Comprehensive Sustainable Services

At the next meeting of the Berlin Energy Roundtable, we’ll be focusing on the role of urban neighborhoods in the energy transition. The discussion will center on how to achieve a sustainable, climate-friendly, and reliable supply of energy and heat at the neighborhood level, and what factors are crucial for successful implementation. Inna Koch and […]
Energy Sharing under Section 42c of the Energy Industry Act (EnWG): Great Potential, but Further Clarification Is Needed
Juristische Aspekte des Quartiersladens: Rechtliche Hürden und kooperative Lösungen auf privatem und öffentlichem Eigentum
Legal obstacles hamper the heating transition in the neighborhood

Today, IKEM published a legal paper on sector-coupled heat supply in neighborhoods, which was developed as part of the HybridBOT_FW project. The study shows that although the existing legal framework opens up initial positive approaches for innovative district solutions, there is still a need for reform in order to enable a comprehensive decentralized energy transition.

Sektorengekoppelte Wärmeversorgung – Rechtliche Hemmnisse im Quartier
Neighborhood solutions with energy sharing
Heating networks for sustainable neighborhoods

Whether new or existing buildings – heating networks play a central role in the decarbonization of the heat supply. Neighborhood solutions can not only effectively integrate renewable energy sources, but also leverage synergies between different types of buildings and uses. But what do such solutions look like in practice – technically and in terms of […]
QUARREE100 – Erkenntnisse und regulatorische Handlungsoptionen für die strombasierte Wärmeversorgung von Bestandsquartieren
Legal certainty needed for customer installations

Customer installations, such as an energy supply system in an apartment building, can provide end users with a local energy supply outside of the regulated grid. The operation of such systems receives privileged treatment under energy law, which is why the solution is economically appealing, for example to supply energy to a neighbourhood. However, an […]
