DAVE: Germany responds to heat waves with air conditioning instead of strategies for heat-resilient buildings and cities

DAVE criticizes the focus on air conditioning and calls for holistic strategies for heat-resilient buildings and cities. Cooling is to be part of a system of structural heat protection, greening, efficient grids, PV, storage and load management. The priority is the existing building.

Green hydrogen – transport and storage can double costs

A Fraunhofer-IEG/CINES analysis shows that transport and storage can significantly increase the cost of green hydrogen by 2035, and in some cases double it in the case of peak-load power plants. Industrial customers pay significantly less infrastructure shares. Results in the webinar on July 6, 2026.

Falling surcharge values exacerbate tense situation – night-time noise throttling as an underestimated economic risk

Competition for new wind projects is intensifying: In the BNetzA tender of February 2026, the average was 5.54 ct/kWh, costs are rising. Night-time noise throttling endangers economic efficiency. If unnecessary requirements are removed, +11% yield is possible.
