Tulln and the RENERGY project
Tulln is leading the way in the region Lower Austria and acts as a multiplier for suitable and feasible technologies as well as for new management and financing concepts in the field of renewable energy use and energy savings. During the last years, many measures on these topics were taken: The city has introduced subsidies to private households that use solar energy, organizes public events, has elaborated studies and papers such as a detailed analysis on the energy efficiency of a school, employs an eco-manager in order to provide the basis for the development of interdisciplinary solutions, and many more. These competences and experiences Tulln is going to share with the RENERGY-partners by showing best-practice-examples in form of a case study. The city of Tulln is looking forward to exchange experiences and lessons learnt within the interregional partnership in order to develop new strategies for a sustainable and energy efficient future for the city.
