E.ON is working to address the growing environmental problems of cities through climate-smart, long-term infrastructure solutions. We are building the energy systems of the future to ensure sustainable development.

A Sustainable City is an area of significant opportunity for development and economic growth, but it is also a beautiful and convenient place for living and working. E.ON’s primary expertise and interests lie within energy solutions, waste management and transportation solutions. Through innovative thinking and use of the resources that we already have, we can take care of the environment without having to lower our standard of living.

E.ON has developed a complete concept for which the starting point of our work on solutions is based on 100-percent locally sourced renewable energy.

The EU’s energy strategy provides the impetus for our Sustainable City project. The strategy details three targets:
 

• we shall create competitive energy that strengthens the EU in relation to other economies
• we shall have a high level of delivery reliability for energy
• we shall respect the environment and climate.

Our challenge lies in identifying a way to combine these three targets that will allow us to deliver an optimal solution.

It’s about the future

When we work with sustainable cities, we base our efforts on the local cooperation between various players. With a common vision and a common goal, we identify solutions that will benefit all involved.

We take a holistic approach to the issue of energy, we utilize existing infrastructure, identify the unique local conditions that exist to generate energy, capitalize on the diversity that exists in the energy system and ensure that we do this in a commercially viable manner.
