Juwi corporations dismisses from There are several German energy companies, who are dedicated entirely to renewable energy and make it good business. No sooner does one but politically offensive in appearance to the plant engineers Juwi. Its remarkable statement at the annual press conference was documented in the following excerpts. The energy supply in Germany is at a turning point. "The big companies gamble from the consumer. The system of dominant market oligopolies, the dirty energy produced in large central power plants and to the pockets of their shareholders fill, has had its day, "said CEO Matthias juwi Willenbacher.
The energy concept of the future, however, is renewable, but also and above all, decentralized and independent: "Decentralised energy consumers are independent of the requirements of large corporations and not predictable world markets. People can produce clean renewable energy and low-cost power itself - in the region or at home. That is the goal, this is the opportunity - for the people, for the economy. juwi it is progressing quickly, "adds juwi CEO Fred Jung.
Juwi has been both for its office building excellent in Wörrstadt as well as a progressive employer.
The approximately 1,100 employees counting full-service provider for renewable energy (RE) wants to create 350 jobs worldwide by 2010 this year around 500 new jobs, including about 400 in Germany. Revenue is expected to grow from 800 million to over 1.1 billion euros, the retail business will be greatly expanded. In the anniversary year - juwi was 15 years ago by Will Young and Bacher - are planned new branches nationwide and regional offices, which is more than 700 employees-making firm in 2011 as now extended Wörrstadt third time. Abroad, new markets opened up.
It is no longer a battle of energy, because the decision is: Even the Advisory Council on the Environment holds in the power supply 100% renewable energy by 2030 feasible.
It is a clash of systems: dominance of competition, central to decentralized. "The big companies take a hard campaign against the expansion of renewables and distributed primarily to the photovoltaic industry. They have charged the accused, they made the current expensive. That's not true, "says juwi CEO Jochen lean meat. "It's the corporations, which can increase electricity prices. They rail against the EEG surcharge and yet have even a horrende ‚Gewinnumlage’ etabliert, mit denen sie das Geld den Verbrauchern aus der Tasche ziehen“, ergänzt Willenbacher.
Erneuerbare Energien machen den Strom nicht teurer, sondern wirken Preis dämpfend. Verantwortlich dafür ist der Merit-Order-Effekt: Wind- und Solarstromanlagen drängen zunehmend teure konventionelle Spitzenlast-Kraftwerke aus dem Netz und können so die Preise an der Strombörse deutlich senken. Dieser Effekt ist zu spüren, wenn der Wind kräftig weht und soviel Windstrom ins Netz gelangt, dass die Preise an der Strombörse gen null tendieren. Auch die Photovoltaik drängt teure Spitzenlast-Großkraftwerke aus dem Netz. Am 6. September 2010 etwa betrug at noon the performance of all PV systems around 10 gigawatts, equivalent approximately to the output of five nuclear power plants (http://www.sma.de/de/news-infos/pv-leistung-indeutschland html.).
Overall, the
wholesale prices for electricity for various reasons plummeted so that the calculated result for 2011 increased EEG surcharge of around 2 largely compensated to 3.5 cents per kilowatt hour. Nevertheless, electricity prices have been increased - with reference to a higher EEG surcharge. "For the price increases is that income levy" of the corporations responsible and not the EEG surcharge. They abuse the EE as an alibi for own price gouging, "said Will Bacher. A study by the University of Applied Sciences of Saarland have quadrupled from 2002 to 2009 the corporations their profits. The electricity price for consumers has increased over the same period by about 50 percent. 2010, corporations have been run in total gains of well over 20 billion €, and rising further. This corresponds to a, profit allocation 'of more than 4 cents per kilowatt hour. The EEG assessment in 2010 amounted to 8.2 billion euros, rising to 13 billion euros in 2011. That is, the companies could also look at the lower purchase prices, bear the entire EEG assessment and would still make good.
"The question is what we want: Do we want to continue the oligarchy of large corporations, or do we want the independence and decentralization of energy supply with renewable energy - and a clean, safe, socially equitable and affordable electricity supply, competition and - through regional value -
boost the economy in the regions, "explained Jung. juwi this democratization is in order with concepts of how regions can provide communities, businesses and individuals as needed to fully and 100 percent by renewable energy.
juwi wants to expand its business with retail
strong - with small photovoltaic systems juwi the power block, the juwi Power Block - one based on renewable energy cogeneration plant that produces for single and multi-family houses both heat and electricity - and with wood pellets. "We feel a growing demand for individual solutions. People want to become independent and self-generate clean, affordable energy. For example, a combination juwi enough power block, a PV system on the roof and a battery pack sufficient to fully produce heat and electricity for home and family, "said Jung.
began in early 2010, the juwi group
together with electricity companies Schönau (EWS), a nationwide Flagship project for the direct marketing of locally produced wind power: since then to cover the Verbandesgemeinde (VG) Wörrstadt and several local churches of the VG a good part of their local needs with power comes from wind turbines at the site Wörrstadt. The regional direct marketing approach will be extended to other juwi both regions and on households. "The project civil power is on the agenda. We want to enable the people to purchase clean wind power generated in their region, "said Will Bacher.
The regional demand for combined cycle power plants from wind, solar and bio-energy continues to increase. But the wind juwi GmbH plans this year to create plants with a total capacity of more than 300 megawatts, the vast majority of them in Germany. Other important markets are Poland and Costa Rica, where the company acquisitions near the capital San José has already implemented the second major wind project: 17 plants with a total capacity of 15.3 megawatts. In the solar field will be installed worldwide photovoltaic installations with a total capacity of 330 MW this year, of which some 200 megawatts in Germany. Overall, this year juwi solar photovoltaic systems in 16 countries on five continents build. One of the flagship project is the extension of the solar park love Rose in Cottbus to an output of around 18 megawatts. With a total of 71 megawatts would love Rose's second largest solar park in Germany and the fourth largest photovoltaic project in the world. In addition to wind and solar energy this year will grow bioenergy strong - with up to four wood pelleting and briquetting plants (annual capacity of 180,000 tons total), a timber plant and up to three biogas plants.
So juwi on behalf of the PV julist GmbH & Co. KG in Phillipsburg the tire manufacturer Goodyear Dunlop
the largest roof-mounted photovoltaic plant in Germany established (power 7.4 megawatts). But also needed are solar carports, roofing company that their car parks, while clean solar power can produce. Another key project is the solar power plant on the Coface Arena, the stadium of Bundesliga club Mainz 05
The photovoltaic energy systems play in a crucial role. The reduction of the solar coating makes solar power from its own roof in 2012 competitive with conventional household electricity from the socket. 2013 solar electricity will be of the open space be cheaper than wind power, which is produced in offshore wind parks at sea. "The solar energy produced right where it is needed. It saves billions of euros in cost of network expansion and thus protects the consumer in addition, "explains Jung.
Regional combined cycle power plants will not only clean and stable electricity prices, but also regional value, benefit the local people. The Institute for Ecological Economy Research (Iow) has identified nationwide in 2011
a regional value added (local tax revenue, income and employment effects) of 8.9 billion euros. The Renewable Energy Agency has used the indicators of the survey on the Rhein-Hunsrück-Kreis, and in this region for 2009 to a local economy through renewable energy from 9.4 million euros. In order to achieve
the great goal of 100 percent, bietet juwi auch Investments in erneuerbare Energien an. So können sich Privatanleger an der Realisierung von Wind- oder Solarenergie-Anlagen bereits mit relativ geringen Beiträgen beteiligen, etwa über Genusscheine. Mit der GLS-Bank hat juwi ein erstes Genussschein-Projekt erfolgreich platziert; eine Neuauflage ist in diesem Jahr geplant. Darüber hinaus werden künftig mit lokalen Banken Sparbriefe sowie genossenschaftliche Beteiligungen angeboten. Investoren werden auch für die Realisierung von Holzpellets- Produktionsanlagen sowie für Werke gesucht, in denen das sehr humusreiche Bodensubstrat Palaterra hergestellt wird.
