Accelerating the energy shift with improved technology
The upcoming Energiewende erFAHREN cycling tour in 2025 is set to take place from the Münsterland region to Berlin, with a focus on promoting the energy transition (Energiewende) and photovoltaic technology in Germany[1].
The tour, organised by the Landesverband Erneuerbare Energien NRW (LEE NRW), will start with the official signal given by NRW Minister of Transport Oliver Krischer[2]. From its beginning in the Münsterland area, the tour will make its way to Berlin, passing through Lower Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and Brandenburg[3].
Along the route, participants will visit innovative projects and communities engaged in renewable energy, particularly solar technology. One of the highlights is a walking tour through the "Solar Village" Oberndorf, where more than 30 projects involving solar thermal energy, photovoltaics, solar & wood heating, heat pumps, and heat recovery are showcased[1].
Various workshops complement the tour, such as an Upcycling Workshop and one hosted by the "Klimaneutrales Dreisamtal" project teaching the construction of plug-in solar devices[1]. The focus is on photovoltaic systems, including small plug-in solar devices (Steckersolaranlagen) which can be easily connected to the power grid[1].
The "Golden Book of the Energy Transition" is a significant part of the tour's itinerary and purpose[4]. This symbolic document represents the collective thoughts and demands of the tour participants and the visited places[5]. The book will be filled along the tour with impressions, ideas, and political demands[6]. It serves as a means for political representation of the tour's goals and findings[7].
The "Golden Book of the Energy Transition" is a tradition of the Energiewende erFAHREN cycling tour[8]. Participants will include members of LEE NRW, representatives of other state associations, and the Federal Association of Renewable Energy (BEE)[9].
The tour serves as a mobile platform to raise awareness and disseminate knowledge about renewable energy technologies and sustainable living practices connected to the German energy transition[10]. While exact dates and all intermediate stops of the 2025 cycling tour are not fully detailed in the sources, the tour promises to be an exciting event for those interested in the energy transition and sustainable living.
