Abstract

12 % of the total EU energy consumption shall by 2010 be covered by renewable energy sources. This is the objective that the Community agreed on in its white book on " renewable energies ". At the same time, an European-wide action plan has been set up. In order to achieve these goals, local communities do need to actively contribute to this. The City of Saarbrücken and its municipal utility act therefore since many years in the fields of research, demonstration and promotion of these energy sources as well as in the field of energy savings.
