The Foundation EnergieKronenberg and the inhabitants, companies and organisations of Kronenberg are committed to a sustainable society. In 2014, they set themselves a very ambitious goal: an energy-neutral Kronenberg by 2030. In the 450-household village of Kronenberg, a bottom-up initiative started in 2015. Residents founded ‘EnergieKronenberg’, aiming to make the village energy neutral by 2030. A joint study by the foundation and the municipality in 2020 has shown that ‘all electric’ is the best option for Kronenberg. But this scenario is not easy to implement because every individual homeowner needs to invest in energy measures.
