New Business Area: Sustainability as a Service
How Municipal Utilities and Energy Supply Companies Can Benefit From the Sustainability Obligation
green.screen Opens the Door to Sustainability as a Service Offerings for Energy Providers
Sustainability is the order of the day. The pressure to reduce CO2 emissions is growing everywhere, not least in public institutions (role model function!) and in all industry sectors. In addition, legislators are putting on pressure. However, the carbon footprint will not reduce by itself. Energy-efficient behavior requires know-how, and energy expertise. Municipal utilities and energy supply companies have this know-how. Utilities are, therefore natural protagonists in energy efficiency and environmental management. With green.screen, they can position themselves as "sustainability as a service" providers.
A look at the current climate balance sheet shows that there is still a lot of work to be done in Germany to achieve the climate targets set out in the Federal Climate Protection Act. This was certainly a motivating factor for the BMKW to publish the draft bill for an energy efficiency law. Should the draft bill become law - which can be assumed in principle - it will result in a wide range of obligations for public and private actors.
Benefit From the Duty of Sustainability!
Public institutions at the federal, state, and local levels, as well as private companies and data centers, will be obliged to introduce energy and environmental management systems, avoid and use waste heat, and develop and implement energy efficiency measures.
However, all players should see this not only as an obligation but, above all, as an opportunity. For companies, the development and continuous management of various energy efficiency measures mean first and foremost:
- Savings in energy consumption
- and thus the reduction of energy costs.
At the same time, these actors contribute to achieving climate targets at the national and European levels.
