Roth relies on energy-saving contracting: investments for the future!

In the city of Roth, a lot is happening in terms of energy efficiency. The municipality has taken the first step into a future-oriented project and increases energy efficiency in 16 properties with Energiespar-Contracting (ESC). According to dena , the project is implemented by E1 Energiemanagement GmbH and is currently in the phase of fine analysis, which means that the first details have been completed. The expected construction work should start in early 2026.

But what exactly is behind the energy-saving contracting? The approach stipulates that a contractor, i.e. a service provider, takes over the planning, implementation and maintenance of energy savings measures. In return, it receives part of the energy costs saved. This has various advantages for the city of Roth: the liquidity remains, and at the same time the expertise of the contractor can achieve a significant improvement in energy efficiency, such as the portal baufoerderung.de explained.

ESC Plus as a lever of efficiency

It is particularly exciting that Roth not only relies on classic energy-saving contacts, but also wants to apply the ESC Plus variant in three buildings. This variant not only includes the optimization of existing technical systems, but also the renewal of measures on the building envelope. This is a real added value that not only improves energy efficiency, but also contributes to the long -term increase in value of the buildings.

Overall, the ESC building pool in Roth comprises various facilities, including schools, multi-purpose halls, administrative buildings, Ratibor Castle and the Kulturfabrik. The contract was signed by Roth's first mayor Andreas Buckreus and Richard Kerl from E1 Energy management, with other actors such as Andreas Holderbaum from E1, Stefan Losch from Dena, as well as the climate protection manager Pia Distler and Stefan Hofmann from the building management building management.

insight into the details

But how does the implementation work? First, the rough analysis of the properties is checked by the current energy use. After this analysis, the city receives initial indications of how energy efficiency can be improved. On the basis of this information, those responsible can decide whether to enter a contracting partnership, such as Engie Germany . The subsequent fine analysis then provides a detailed concept with binding investment costs and guarantees energy savings.

A crucial factor is that the implementation of the measures by Engie Germany takes place turnkey. The company takes over many of the necessary construction work itself, which ensures a smooth process. Continuous monitoring of the plant functions also guarantees saving success. If the promised savings are not reached, customers are entitled to a compensation payment, which offers additional protection.

The city of Roth has proven a good hand with this step in order not only to reduce energy costs, but also to make a sustainable contribution to climate protection. The experts agree that such projects play an important role in the implementation of the climate goals and bring advantages for everyone involved.
