Episode Details

In the German village of Feldheim, residents harness renewable energy, generating surplus electricity sold to the national grid. Initiated in the nineties, the project involves wind turbines, a biogas plant, solar panels, and battery storage. Locals, farmers, and government collaborated, with each household contributing three thousand euros for a heating network. The model, while successful in Feldheim, faces challenges in scaling due to geography and community trust. Similar microgrids exist in Scotland and Alaska, but success depends on early communication and clear financial benefits for residents.
