(Programm: Energie der Zukunft; Programmlinie: Stadt der Zukunft, 1. Ausschreibung; Projekt 845187).

Feasible business models to locally utilize locally generated renewable energy are expected to induce a tipping point for the Energy Turnaround in Austria. If it is possible to develop models to sell on-site generated electricity directly to tenants, lessees and shared owners, such models would be a viable business not dependant on subsidized feed-in tariffs. Former projects (such as Reininghausgründe, Aspern, Kapfenberg) were not yet able to achieve this. Within the project a number of demonstration PV plants on residential and non-residential buildings will be realized. On this basis new approaches of business cases are developed, implemented, tested and finally disseminated.
