ENNEREG Good Practice - NEW Neue Energien West eG - The energy cooperative "Bürger-Energiegenossenschaft West eG", Upper Palatinate Region Germany, ENNEREG Good Practice in Cooperation - Energy Services and Financing
ENNEREG Good Practice
[EN]
The NEW Neue Energien West eG / Bürger-Energiegenossenschaft West eG is one successful regional example for a renewable energy coop originally being funded as inter-communal cooperation between 8 municipalities, all located in the administrative district of Neustadt/Waldnaab / Upper Palatinate (27.02.2009).
Until today, the NEW eG invested into three large-scale groundmounted PV installations (solar farm Döllnitz, 1.3 MW; solar farms Barbaraberg 1 / 2, 3.1 MW) and several smaller roof-mounted PV systems.
The NEW and Bürger eG are also offering other services supporting the sustainable use of energy in the region, e.g. energy consulting services, thermalgraphy of buildings, issue of energy performance certificates for buildings, cleaning of PV modules, joint procurement, etc.

Replacement of obsolete district heating pipelines, Kaunas City, Lithuania - ENNEREG Good Practice in Energy Efficiency in Industry
ENNEREG Good Practice [EN] District heating system is vitally important energy carrier in Lithuania as especially in large towns. It covers over 50% of heat supply in total, and this percent is over 65% in Kaunas City. On the other hand heating needs significant share of family expenses, especially during cold period October- April. This requires significant efforts from district heating companies to reduce heat supply costs, which is done in two ways: reduction of heat supply losses in the pipelines, and introduction of biomass sources for heat generation via conversion. Currently there are approximately 18% of renovated pre-insulated pipelines in Kaunas City. The rest are still old obsolete channel pipelines. Renovation of pipelines takes place simultaneously with network optimizations, i.e. adjusting of pipeline diameters.

Conversion of natural gas boiler-house to biomass, Garliava, Kaunas Region, Lithuania - ENNEREG Good Practice in Renewable Energy
ENNEREG Good Practice [EN] District heating system is vitally important energy carrier in Lithuania as especially in large towns. It covers over 50% of heat supply in total, and this percent is over 65% in Kaunas City. On the other hand heating needs significant share of family expenses, especially during cold period October- April. This requires significant efforts from district heating companies to reduce heat supply costs, and fuel conversion to biomass is considered as important measure. Kaunas City and Kaunas Regional Municipalities depend mainly on natural gas, which cover about 90% of total fuel in district heating. Garliava boiler-house conversion from natural gas to biomass is currently the largest biomass boiler-house in Kaunas regional municipality with capacity 6.5 MW.

District Heating with biomass in Orozko, Spain - ENNEREG Good Practice in Renewable Energy
ENNEREG Good Practice
[EN]
This project supplies a range of 432 houses and 2 municipal buildings (the school and the sports centre) with warm sanitary water and heating through a centralized system which has biomass as its main source of primary energy.
This project promoted by the Orozko municipality aims to meet the thermal demand (heating and warm sanitary water) through a centralized system which has biomass as its main source of primary energy. The project is implemented in two phases: the first phase provides heating for the sports centre and the elementary education centre. The second phase is a district heating network for a new housing development.
The installation of district heating centralized system offers several advantages: avoids chimneys and installations of heat in buildings, improves the quality of air, average savings higher than 15% compared with traditional systems, savings on the initial investment of more than 22% and savings of required surface for installations.
