Finance & Cost

The local utility company, EMR (Electrizitatswerk Minden-Ravensberg), provided financial assistance by acknowledging the lifecycle energy returns and financing the additional cost of energy-related "active" components (cogeneration microturbine, solar hot water collectors, energy analysis and building automation computer system, etc.). They also wrote the grant application that won the SOLTEC award and paid for the photovoltaic system.
