Free event in Uelzen: Saving energy made easy!
A lot is happening in Uelzen! On July 3, 2025, the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Community invites you to an exciting event in the Uelzen town hall, which will focus on a topic that has a crucial impact on our everyday lives and the environment: energy-saving contracting for the energy-efficient modernization of public buildings. How Uelzen press reported, those interested can look forward to an informative afternoon starting at 3 p.m.
The event focuses on the possibilities of energy saving contracting (ESC). External service providers take over the planning, financing and implementation of energy saving measures, which not only conserves resources but also means guaranteed energy savings for the municipalities. This is particularly important because there are around 175,000 municipal properties in Germany whose energy optimization can make a significant contribution to greenhouse gas neutrality. The optimization process can significantly reduce costs for electricity and heat supply while protecting the environment, such as Govshare explained.
A look into practice
During the event, participants will have the opportunity to gain an insight into the ongoing project in the Hanseatic city of Uelzen. In addition, the energy-renovated theater on the Ilmenau will be visited - a shining example of how sensible measures can save costs and improve the appearance of our city.
Specialist lectures will provide further insights into the topics of selecting suitable buildings and financing options. A special highlight is the guide for strategic planning of the municipal building stock, which is available to participants. Experts, including from the German Energy Agency's Contracting Competence Center, are available to exchange information - not only for decision-makers from the municipality, but also for climate protection specialists, property management employees and interested citizens.
Complex challenges, simple solutions
Of course, the energetic modernization of buildings also brings challenges. These are not only complex, but also personnel and cost-intensive, which is why it is important to choose a structured approach and take advantage of funding opportunities. Steps such as analyzing current electricity and heat consumption or setting target values are essential. With joint efforts, it will be possible to make a significant contribution to climate neutrality on a large scale and to meet the legal requirements as set out in the Building Energy Act.
A clear advantage of energy saving contracting is that it offers building owners a long-term guarantee on the amount of energy savings. This not only relieves the burden of organizational implementation of the measures, but also helps to transfer economic and technical risks to the contractor.
