Fuchstal is a municipality in Bavaria which plans to test the ‘power-to-heat’ approach, which involves converting excess electricity into heat which is then stored in large storage facilities until it is needed. The community also plans to build flexibility into its biogas plant so that it can adapt to fluctuating demand. The community also has photovoltaic systems, hydroelectric power stations, a wind farm and an innovative district heating network.
