Funding measures

We position ourselves as pioneers of energy transition 2.0. Sustainable living is at the heart of our approach. That’s why we focus on initiatives that not only accelerate the expansion of renewable energy but also actively support local communities and municipalities in their transition toward a greener future.

Creating real value

The energy transition 2.0 means much more than just the expansion of renewable energies. It represents a holistic change – ecologically, socially, and economically. Whether through infrastructure projects, social initiatives, or environmental measures – together we are shaping a sustainable future in which everyone is a part.

Creating acceptance

Support measures increase local acceptance by creating concrete and sustainable benefits for communities through targeted support of community projects and infrastructure development.

Promoting community

Open communication and the integration of local interests create a foundation of trust, promoting harmonious relationships and forming a solid base for future-oriented cooperation.

Strengthening rural areas

Through support measures, we strengthen rural areas in the long term. These investments create stable structures and ensure sustainable development that extends far beyond the project duration.

Proactive action for long-term added value

We live responsibility beyond legal requirements.

Implementing Section 6 of the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) is not just a duty for us, but a matter close to our hearts. This section requires the inclusion of the local community and the creation of acceptance for renewable energies. At EEF, we act proactively to promote the well-being of local people, regardless of project success. Our goal is to create sustainable added value that strengthens communities in the long term. By going beyond legal minimum requirements, we contribute to the preservation and development of local structures. Our projects are not only compliant with laws but also aligned with the needs of the residents, thus forming partnerships that extend far beyond any single project.

We focus on long-term partnerships.

It is clear to us: Only through long-term partnerships can we achieve sustainable success. EEF pursues the vision of permanently retaining projects without constant changes of operators. This creates stability and trust – crucial factors for the successful implementation of support measures. Our continuous presence locally enables us to build close relationships with communities and partners that are maintained over the years. Thus, we ensure that support measures are not only planned but also consistently implemented and supervised in the long term. Everything comes from one source – a clear win-win situation for the region. With open communication and active involvement of local people, we create not only acceptance but genuine enthusiasm for the energy transition 2.0.

We offer customized concepts for each community.

Our projects are as flexible as the challenges we face. We rely on custom solutions that take into account the needs of each community individually. With a broad range of initiatives – from local actions like jerseys for the soccer club to new playgrounds, and installing charging stations to promote e-mobility – we create real added value locally. Together, we develop solutions close to the location and commit to appropriate participation models that bring direct benefits to local people. Our team is present and communicates with local players such as the fire department, kindergartens, or clubs to design concepts that not only strengthen the acceptance of our projects but benefit the entire community. Openness and direct dialogue with the community are central to creating long-term and sustainable solutions.
