Hemmingen enters the energy cooperative: a step towards climate justice!
The city of Hemmingen today, on July 1, 2025, took a significant step towards a sustainable energy future by joining the Calenberger Land Ener.GO eG energy cooperative. This step is intended to help to implement the energy transition on site close to citizens and sustainably. The SPD Hemmingen welcomes accession and emphasizes the opportunities for transparency, participation and social balance in climate policy. She argues that accession is regarded as an important milestone for climate protection, social justice and economic participation in Hemmingen. As early as December 2024, the city council approved the application of the SPD to prepare this step.
The Energiegenossenschaft Calenberger Land was founded to actively participate in the energy transition citizens and municipalities. One focus is on the successful implementation of photovoltaic systems, as on the town hall roof in Hemmingen-Westerfeld. Sebastian Kunde, spokesman for the SPD council group, emphasizes the importance of shaping the energy transition by the local citizens and encourages active discussion about future energy supply in the region. The cooperative offers citizens the opportunity to participate in the acquisition of shares in local energy projects.
Citizen participation in focus
The general meeting of the SPD Hemmingen spoke out for the path of an energy cooperative a year ago. The initiative aims to use existing structures, reduce the administrative effort and to accelerate the implementation of projects. Citizens are invited to actively participate in the discussion and participation of the energy transition. The cooperative would like to identify new potential for renewable energies and further promote the energy transition in the region.
By linking bourgeois co -determination and energy projects, this step not only leads to greater acceptance of renewable energies, but also to wider social participation. As research shows, participation processes on energy issues are crucial for the trust of citizens in the implementation of climate protection measures. Studies show that increased citizen participation promotes the legitimacy and acceptance of energy projects by giving the residents a voice and taking into account their needs. Springer documents that such areas of participation are essential for the development of a sustainable energy culture.
Overall, accession to the Calenberger Land energy cooperative for Hemmingen is a promising initiative in order to create an environmentally friendly and socially just energy future. This measure not only strengthens the local economy, but also contributes to global effort to actively combat climate change by giving citizens the opportunity to participate directly in this development.
