April Regional conference on the action programme 1. June, 3. July, 17.July Council of the district Final discussion on the guidelines Central measures according to the perspective of various stakeholder groups Definition of pilot projects == Action programme (final editing: regional management & edition group) Resolution on the guidelines
The guidelines of the action programme Topic A: Active citizenship Topic B: Positioning of the district Ebersberg (Creation of an image, marketing of the business location) Topic C: Sustainable structure of the regional economy Topic D: Binding of the purchasing power Topic E: Tourism and local recreation Topic F: Traffic Topic G: Viable and sustainable agriculture Topic H: Forest and forestry Topic I: Sustainable structure of the settlements Topic J: Nature and landscape Topic K: Energy efficiency and renewable energies Topic L: Strengthening of the identification with the district Topic M: Living together / family friendly district Topic N: Culture Topic O: Education
Extract of the guidelines Topic K: Energy efficiency and Renewable Energies K1) We want the district of Ebersberg to become independent of fossil and other finite energy carriers by the year 2030. In order to reach this aim, we will implement measures for energy saving and use a broad range of renewable energy sources.... K2) We will support households, craftsmen, agriculture and forestry as well as medium-sized enterprises in developing and using innovative technologies. K3) We will create the needed organisational preconditions for professional information, consulting and coordination of the activities related to the energy turn-around in the district.

The process in the district of Ebersberg Assessment of the current needs (electricity, heat) current production of energy from renewable energies the potentials for saving energy the potentials for increasing the use of heat and electricity from renewable energy sources the current supply structures the strenths, weaknesses focused on structures and measures (projects) in the district
The process in the district of Ebersberg SWOT-anylsis: central outcome The main challenges The lack of information among the population and enterprises The necessity to improve the possibilities for funding and for the mobilisation of capital Lack of cooperation with the implementation of projects between the district and the municipality level Central and superordinated strengths are The manifestation of the 100% 2030 objective on district level and similar objectives in some of the municipalities of the district Numerous activities in the field of renewable energies and rational use of energy on district and municipality level.
The process in the district of Ebersberg What has already been achieved: Energy production 13 solar plants in the hand of citizens Various other renewable energy plants, such as Bio-methane plant in Pliening Wood-chip plants / small local heat nets (e.g.: Markt Schwaben, Hohenlinden, Forstinning, Ebersberg) Wood-pellet and wood chip plants in the hand of private persons and municipalities (Bauhof Zorneding) Biogas plants (Angelbrechting, Pliening, Baiern...) Use of plant oil (a view converted trucks, tractors, oil-mill in Englmeng, CHPs in Baiern and at the Steinhöringer Werkstätten), Research and plan for using geothermal heat in Vaterstetten / Grasbrunn, plant in construction in Poing
