Brandenburg gives energy efficiency price: innovations for the future!

Fürstenwalde-Spree, Deutschland - Brandenburg is again in the sign of energy efficiency! On June 11, 2025, the energy efficiency award was awarded for the seventh time in this beautiful state. With this special event, which was held in the BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg, outstanding projects and initiatives were awarded that strive for innovative concepts to improve energy efficiency. A total of prices were to be awarded worth 15,000 euros - an incentive that promotes creativity and competition among the participating projects.

In the company category, the Kaplick Hoffenicherei was able to prevail. Their outstanding energy concept combines various modern approaches such as photovoltaics, local heat and electromobility. This comprehensive system impressively shows how much potential is in the combination of renewable energies. The award underlines the company's commitment to sustainable practices and offers a shining example of the industry.

awards for municipalities and special prize

The city of Fürstenwalde-Spree received the prize in the municipalities category, and for good reason: The Gerhard-Goßmann primary school, which was renovated during the ongoing company, is a prime example of a sustainable and practical procedure in the education sector. Stadtwerke Brandenburg an der Havel were also awarded. They won the special prize for their future -oriented project "Premnitz district heating street", which enables industrial waste heat to be used. This measure saves about 69,000 tons of CO2 annually and thus strengthens the environmentally conscious action of the municipal utility.

"We see not only great projects here, but also the future of energy supply in Germany" - this could be the voices of the experts at the Brandenburg Energy Day. It can be seen that innovative solutions are required to master the challenges of the energy transition.

The way to the energy transition

The German Energy Agency (dena) plays a central role here. With the support of various federal ministries, she has set itself the goal of promoting the energy transition. The agency advises both public and private customers and develops strategies for more efficient energy use. In the past, DENA was involved in numerous projects, such as the competence center of municipal heat transition, which particularly promotes the use of heat pumps in existing buildings. The focus is always on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

The dena is also the organizer of the upcoming energy transition congress in November 2024 in Berlin, an important meeting point for actors and experts in the industry. Here is discussed about current developments and exchanged new ideas that can contribute to increasing energy efficiency and that pave the way to climate neutrality.

For all those who want to learn more about the CO2 savings options, there is an insight into the diverse tools and resources that are available on platforms such as photovoltaik.one. Such initiatives not only promote awareness, but also activity in the field of energy efficiency and sustainable development.

Brandenburg shows that locally adapted, innovative solutions in the areas of school, companies and municipal services are more than just a trend - they are the key to the future! There is a lot of potential in these projects that are only waiting to be recognized and used.
