For the successful launch of a local or regional energy community (EEG), committed Initiators <\/strong>The term \u201cinitiator\u201d is used here to explicitly all genders<\/strong> We would especially like to Encourage women<\/strong>to actively participate \u2013 as this role has so far been predominantly played by men. A diverse composition strengthens the community and brings new perspectives to the local energy transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is important to emphasize in advance: The activity as initiator takes place on volunteer <\/strong>Basis. This means that it is not paid \u2013 it is done out of conviction and in the spirit of common goal<\/strong> There are no fixed working hours or prescribed minimum hours. Everyone contributes to the extent that is individually possible \u2013 voluntarily and according to their own time resources. flexibility <\/strong>makes the commitment easy to combine with work, family or other commitments \u2013 and at the same time offers the opportunity actively contribute to the energy transition <\/strong>in your own region to contribute<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The role of initiator is ideal for all those in whose Vicinity <\/strong>so far no <\/strong>Renewable Energy Community (EEG<\/strong>) exists \u2013 and the self take action<\/strong> Anyone who is willing to invest some time can initiate the construction of an EEG without financial expenditure and thus important contribution<\/strong> in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The activity as initiator is no costs<\/strong> This is a voluntary commitment that requires no personal financial investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An EEG can of course also be several initiators<\/strong> be borne jointly \u2013 Teamwork <\/strong>is expressly welcome! Should an initiator wish to terminate their activities, they can do so at any time. In this case, we will promptly endeavor to find a suitable successor so that the development and further development of the community can continue smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In Vienna, several initiators are already active for the EEG WIEN. They are in regular contact with each other. Exchange <\/strong>\u2013 including its own WhatsApp group<\/strong>. In addition, there are voluntary meetings where you can get to know each other personally and share experiences. A special occasion for a get-together is our Information events<\/strong>, which take place twice a year. These offer a great opportunity for networking, learning, and joint planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each initiator receives Support <\/strong>from EEG WIEN and the initiating team. We provide comprehensive information<\/strong> such as brochures and flyers and provide the initiators with all the necessary information they need for their task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The initiator is our Eye and ear<\/strong> on site<\/strong> \u2013 in the neighborhood or the district \u2013 and regularly exchanges important findings with the EEG WIEN team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We always coordinate new advertising measures, approaches, or ideas with our initiators. We are very pleased about the diverse opinions and creative Suggestions <\/strong>our initiators \u2013 because together we are shaping the energy transition locally!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The initiator informed <\/strong>people about the benefits of the Energy Community, explained <\/strong>their functioning and tries to convince these people to Participate <\/strong>to move, because the more of us there are, the more benefits there are for the members, the region, and the environment. He also distributes informational materials such as flyers and brochures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Initiators usually start their work in direct environment<\/strong> \u2013 with family, neighbors or work colleagues. The Clubs <\/strong>in Austria: If an initiator has good contacts with one or more associations, the chances of gaining new members for the energy community increase. In the next step, small and medium-sized Pursue <\/strong>such as the hairdresser, the tobacconist, the sausage stand, the coffee house, or the pub around the corner. This creates a strong, diverse local network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In some areas in Vienna, especially in the inner-city areas, the Feeder<\/strong> still very rare and hard to find<\/strong>Here we use, among other things, a map of the city of Vienna and Satellite images<\/strong>to find photovoltaic systems and thus feeders. The initiator's task is then to go to this address and try to establish contact, for example, by posting the property management's address on the bulletin board of an apartment building.<\/p>\n\n\n\nVoluntary, flexible and meaningful \u2013 the role as initiator<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

No financial hurdles \u2013 commitment without costs<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
