results<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Last year, the municipality of Wei\u00dfensee submitted an application for funding for municipal heat planning as part of the municipal guidelines (https:\/\/www.klimaschutz.de\/kommunalrichtlinie). This has now been approved with the grant notification dated 07.03.2024 under the funding code 67K27796.<br \/>\nThe city of Wei\u00dfensee has commissioned TEAG Th\u00fcringer Energie AG to draw up a municipal heating plan in accordance with the Technical Annex to the Municipal Guidelines. <\/p>\n<p>In accordance with Article 13(3) of the General Data Protection Regulation, energy companies and public bodies required to transfer data are not obliged to inform the data subjects. In order to protect the legitimate interests of the data subjects, local authorities must publish the information in accordance with Article 13(3) and Article 14(1) and (2) of the General Data Protection Regulation.<br \/>\nIn compliance with Article 13(3) and Article 14(1) and (2) of the General Data Protection Regulation, the administration of the City of Wei\u00dfensee hereby informs the data subjects as follows:<br \/>\nThe City of Wei\u00dfensee does not intend to process the data for any purpose other than that for which the data was collected. Otherwise, the administration will provide data subjects with information about this other purpose and all other relevant information in accordance with Article 13(2) of the General Data Protection Regulation before forwarding the data.<br \/>\nThe data required for the preparation of the municipal heat planning is processed by TEAG Th\u00fcringer Energie AG (contractor) and EnergyEffizienz GmbH (subcontractor) on the basis of the General Data Protection Regulation. Data on energy or fuel consumption and electricity consumption for heating purposes is collected.<br \/>\nThe data is deleted after processing or creation of the municipal heat planning. There is a right to information from the responsible bodies. In addition, there is a right to erasure or restriction of processing and a right to object to processing as well as the right to data portability and a right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The information provided by the district chimney sweeps and the energy companies responsible for the city of Wei\u00dfensee (electricity, gas and heating network operators) serve as a source of information.          <\/p>\n<p>The purpose of municipal heat planning is to secure the heat supply of buildings within our municipality under the premise of greenhouse gas reduction or greenhouse gas neutrality from 2045. To this end, it must be examined how and with which services the buildings can be heated, taking into account the upstream supply networks, such as local or district heating, heat pumps powered by electricity or a hydrogen network that may then be available.<br \/>\nIt is planned to complete the first municipal heat planning by 31.03.2025. The tender documents required for awarding the contract are currently being drawn up. Municipal heat planning will be continued on an ongoing basis in subsequent years. On this page you can find out about the further progress of municipal heat planning.    <\/p>\n<p><strong>National Climate Initiative<\/strong><br \/>\nWith the National Climate Initiative, the German government has been initiating and funding numerous projects that contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions since 2008. Its programs and projects cover a broad spectrum of climate protection activities: From the development of long-term strategies to concrete assistance and investment-based funding measures. This diversity is a guarantee for good ideas. The National Climate Initiative helps to anchor climate protection on the ground. It benefits consumers as well as companies, local authorities and educational institutions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-772e5490ed6e797ab fusion-toggle-has-divider\" style=\"--awb-title-color:var(--awb-color8);--awb-content-color:var(--awb-color7);\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\" id=\"toggle_772e5490ed6e797ab\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"772e5490ed6e797ab\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-5147-1\" data-target=\"#772e5490ed6e797ab\" href=\"#772e5490ed6e797ab\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">Community Development Plan (GEK) \/ Village Renewal<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"772e5490ed6e797ab\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"toggle_772e5490ed6e797ab\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\">\n<h3>Village Renewal<\/h3>\n<p>Dear Sir or Madam,<\/p>\n<p>Thank you very much for your interest in private funding opportunities for village development and for adding your name to the list of interested parties at our information session.<\/p>\n<p>As previously announced, please find attached the presentation from the informational session, as well as additional information on private funding.<\/p>\n<p>In particular, you will find information on funding opportunities, design requirements, required documents, and the application process.<\/p>\n<p>To help with further preparations, we can arrange an on-site inspection of your property.<\/p>\n<p>This allows the planned measures to be reviewed collectively, and initial guidance to be provided regarding general eligibility and the next steps in the application process.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to schedule an on-site tour, please contact <strong>me by email or phone no later <\/strong>than <strong>October 15. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Please provide me with the address of the property in question and the planned measures.<\/p>\n<p>The on-site appointments will then be scheduled in batches and held at the end of October.
