Energy Independence Made Easy

by , GIZ / EUKI

Fast ein Viertel des gesamten Stroms in Deutschland wird durch Bürgerenergie erzeugt. Auch in anderen europäischen Ländern schreitet der Ausbau von Photovoltaik- und Windenergieanlagen für private Haushalte stetig voran. Und trotzdem hat der aktuelle Konflikt in Europa einmal mehr gezeigt, wie sehr viele Länder in der EU noch von fossilen Energieimporten abhängig sind. Das EUCENA-Projekt hat einen Online-Kurs mit Anleitungen gestartet, wie auch Sie ganz einfach zu Hause erneuerbare Energie erzeugen können.

While policy makers across the continent are bound to both limit these ties and secure European energy supply, there are ways how you as a private energy consumer can act yourself! The EUKI project “EUCENA – European Citizen Energy Academy” has just launched a free massive open online course (MOOC) with instructions on how you can start producing renewable energy at home. Since 17 February 2022, the Citizen Energy Academy is open. The course is free of cost and accessible to everyone, everywhere.

In the tutorials, practitioners on the ground from Germany, Greece and Croatia demonstrate how you can install plug and play photovoltaic systems on a balcony or how to set up entire energy communities. If the plugging-and-playing turns out to be trickier than expected, you can get in touch with those who already produce renewable energy every day.

The EUCENA Project is financed by the European Climate Initiative on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK). You find more EUKI-financed climate and energy projects here.
