Pilot Hesse

Based in Kassel, the House of Energy is a think tank supported by business, science, universities, colleges, and research institutions, as well as the Hessian state government. It operates across disciplines and supports the energy transition in Hesse conceptually and scientifically. As a competence center, communication, coordination, and knowledge transfer platform, the House of Energy initiates and supports pioneering projects with a technological focus.  

House of Energy  is a think tank and innovation cluster supporting the energy transition. It fosters innovations in all aspects of the transformation to a regenerative and GHG-neutral energy system. This includes renewable energies and their integration into grids and industrial processes as well as new technologies for energy storage or decarbonisation, sustainable and efficient heating systems for buildings or control mechnisms for complex energy systems, among others.

As a network, HofE brings together e.g. producers of energy-efficient systems, financial institutions, universities, and three Hessian Ministries. ECOBoost aligns with House of Energy mission by providing tailored support for MSEs to improve energy efficiency. 

Motivation

In Hesse, MSEs struggle with the high costs and technical complexities of adopting energy-saving technologies. By conducting the pilots, they can contribute to Hesse’s energy transition goals. For the implementation of the pilot HofE will commission external service providers for technical assistance and energy audits. HoefE will support the MSEs as a business support organization, will continue to expand existing contacts and enter into new partnerships.

Expected impact

As the German project partner House of Energy brings local knowledge and strong networks to the ECOBoost project. We aim to support micro and small-sized enterprises (MSEs) in becoming more energy efficient. Through ECOBoost, we share our experience and learn from other regions. This helps us improve our local approach and give MSEs the right tools, advice, and support to save energy.
