An energy use plan (ENP) is an informal communal planning tool on the subject of energy for municipalities and cities in Bavaria . Comparable to the basic idea of ​​the zoning plan , the ENP maps the energetic existing situation in a municipality and at the same time specifically shows the potential locations for the planning of renewable energy systems. The locations are determined , among other things, using a geographic information system. The ENP thus forms the basis for coordinating and synergetically coordinating measures for energy saving, energy efficiency and the conversion to renewable energies . It thus provides an implementation-coordinated operating manual for the local energy transition .

Objective of an energy use plan

An energy use plan is drawn up with the aim of installing an intelligent power supply that is as low-consumption as possible and based on renewable energies in the study area. Therefore, holistic energy concepts are to be drawn up, which make the municipality (city, municipality or district) independent of the import of fossil fuels and ensure the independent supply through renewable energy. The implementation of the measures brings a considerable impetus for regional value creation through investments, proceeds and trade tax revenues.

Development of an energy use plan

In terms of content, the energy use plan is divided into three overarching project phases:

  1. Inventory and potential analysis
  2. Concept development and catalog of measures
  3. Implementation of the measures

Inventory and potential analysis

The aim of the first step is to collect and process energy-related data bases in their spatial distribution. This includes the location-related energy demand of all buildings, if available or determinable, as well as the resulting total electricity consumption of a community. An analysis of the energy infrastructure is also required, which differentiates between existing heat and electricity networks and producers. Ultimately, the energy potentials for renewable energies in all areas are calculated. The subject of the inventory and potential analysis are the sectors households, tertiary sector (trade, commerce, services), industry and transport.

Concept development and catalog of measures

As part of the concept development, a distinction is first made based on the status quo and potential analysis according to the heat supply through heating networks or individual solutions. In a second step, the need for action and options for action in certain areas are identified and classified. Building on this, energy concepts are drawn up for each community and existing energy potentials identified. Finally, an energy use plan with areas of different priority for action emerges from the energy concepts. During the entire concept development, the areas of ecology , economic efficiency, security of supply and regional added value must be weighed and the best possible result must be achieved with the participation of all stakeholders, such as energy providers and citizens. Further topics in the concept development are energy savings on the part of the consumer, an efficient energy supply or more efficient energy supply systems such as B. Combined heat and power plants (CHP).

Implementation of the measures

With the resolution of the energy use plan by an appropriate municipal body, such as B. the municipal council, the ENP becomes final. The implementation of the measures named in the ENP and thus decided in the municipal council can be determined with the help of a combination of planning instruments such as land-use planning , the development plan , the zoning plan , an urban development contract or, for example, a contract under private law.

Funding criteria

Funding institutions of the ENP are:

Eligible for application within the meaning of the BayINVENT funding program are municipalities, rural districts, districts, municipal corporations and private companies, organizations of church or other non-profit organizations in Bavaria without economic activity and companies with their registered office or branch in Bavaria. The type and amount of funding depends on the budget available and depends on the approval decision

  • up to 70% for local authorities and sponsors of other non-profit organizations without economic activity and
  • up to 40% for economic applicants

in the form of a one-time grant as part financing (as of September 2012).

Database and working medium

The database for the creation of an ENP initially consists of location or address-related electricity and heat consumption data. Finally, digital land maps (DFK) , aerial photographs , land use plans, development plans and lists of communal properties and other public facilities, lists of commercial and industrial companies are used for a more detailed analysis and representation of the investigation area. Most of the time, the data is provided by the clients (municipalities, districts, etc.) or offices at state or federal level themselves. An on-site inspection or inspection is helpful in addition to these planning principles. Geographic information systems are used throughout the entire project phase to display and analyze energy-relevant data . The result maps can later also be used to complete existing WebGIS applications of a municipality with the results created in the energy use plan or to use them for further measures.
