EEG Göllersdorf EEG Göllersdorf

EEG Göllersdorf was started by friends and neighbours as one of the first EEGs ever, and for that reason alone, it is one of the pioneering pilot projects. An association was chosen as the organisational form, as this is considered the simplest and most cost-effective legal form for private individuals. Each energy community requires at least two members (one for purchase/ one for feed-in, e.g., PV), and participation is therefore also suitable for a family association. However, the advantages for all can, of course, be significantly increased with more members, and “limits” are currently only defined concerning the close relationship of the participants (all use the same UW). Even if the technical implementation as envisaged in the law will not be possible until October 2022, the establishment and operation of an EEG with multiple deliveries (e.g., PV) are already possible. EEG Göllersdorf wants to use electricity more sustainably, save some money, and at the same time reduce the Co2 footprint without much effort. All citizens in and around Göllersdorf can become part of this community and benefit from the advantages of grid cost savings.
