Trossingen Stadtwerke Pursue Three Sustainable Energy Projects Instead of Wind Turbines

Trossingen Stadtwerke is shifting its focus from wind energy to three sustainable projects: decarbonizing the district heating network with locally sourced wood chips by 2045, developing battery storage systems with a capacity of 3-5 megawatts, and implementing a prosumer model to connect local renewable energy producers with consumers. A new heating facility is planned for 2028/29, although it will not serve the entire city. The company is also addressing regulatory and data needs for these initiatives.

The third project is a prosumer model to connect local renewable energy producers with consumers, enhancing regional energy consumption. Stadtwerke is developing this product and addressing necessary data and regulatory considerations.
