‘Wisdom in the energy transition’ by Schulz
THE BOLD APPLICATION OF THE SET AS A KEY FACTOR FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
The energy transition is one of the greatest social challenges of our time. It requires not only a switch to renewable energies, but also the expansion of an infrastructure that maximises their efficiency. Battery storage systems play a key role in this. Regulatory authorities are often sceptical about this technology. This slows down progress and hinders the goal of a climate-neutral energy system.Autor:

‘The privileged status of battery storage systems in outdoor areas under building planning law’ by Nebel & Schulz
In this article, we address the central question of how battery storage systems, as a key technology for the energy transition, can be legally privileged in outdoor areas. 🌱⚡
The article sheds light on this:
👉 The legal challenges in outdoor areas.
👉 The role of battery storage for a sustainable energy supply.
👉 Possible solutions on how building planning law can be applied in a sustainable way.
Battery storage systems are an indispensable component of the energy transition. Privileging them under planning law can decisively advance the expansion of renewable energies. 🚀

“Adjustments to the price change provisions in the planned amendment to the AVB District Heating Ordinance 2024” by Nebel & Sauer
Two years to the day after the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection (BMWK) announced the prospect of an amendment to the Ordinance on General Terms and Conditions for the Supply of District Heating (AVBFernwärmeV) and had already prepared a draft bill2 , a new draft bill (as of 25.07.20243), some of which has been significantly amended compared to the previous edition, is now to be used as the basis for another comprehensive amendment to the AVBFernwärmeV (hereinafter AVBFernwärmeV-E).
The first consultation with the federal states and associations has already taken place. Following a second round of consultations, the draft is to be submitted to the Federal Cabinet in late summer 2024. It is expected to come into force at the end of 2024.
This article deals with the planned new regulations for the drafting and amendment of price change clauses in Sections 24 and 24a AVBFernwärmeV-E 2024.Autor:
