German Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control (BAFA; ger.) published the results of their work in 2015. In 2015 there has been investments related to energy efficiency funding in generic technologies. The Federal Office supported this by paying out 59,22 mil. euro. The final energy saving of these generic systems in 2015 is 494.000.000 kWh (494 GWh) per year. In turn these save 296.400 tons of CO2 or 6 mil square meters of forest (about 1.100 US football fields!). The challenge for us at wattline is to make energy efficiency happen for It takes months of preparations and staying power during the process until the new technology is in place and the pay ou oft he federal office for economy arrives in the account oft he customer. Our role is the critical interface between theory and practice. It can only be successful if you stay focused like we do in our energy efficiency team. We spoke with Bernd Hesse.
