Objective
repowermap.org is an initiative to promote renewable energies and energy efficiency by providing real-world examples and related local information in each person's neighbourhood. To this objective, an interactive map is developed jointly by a large network of organizations, institutions, regional and local authorities and other energy actors. Take local action to contribute to climate protection and show it on repowermap.org! The examples and the accompanying information inspire others to take action as well and help them to take the first steps.
Who adds examples to the map?
People like you! If you have installed a renewable energy system or if you have constructed an energy efficient building, you are invited to add such project examples on repowermap.org. Make your example(s) visible to pass on your experiences and to motivate others to use these technologies as well. Each example is important!
Who has already integrated the map or has made a link to it?
The map from repowermap.org can easily be integrated into the websites of organizations, communes, regions or companies who take part in this initiative. Like this, the available examples are shown at the same time on different websites, increasing the number of people who see them and get inspired. If you integrate the map into your homepage, you can define the filters and settings you want, e.g. to show only a specific region or only your reference installations.

Integrate a customized map free of charge into your homepage! Take part in the initiative! Contact us, we are pleased if we can assist you.

Here are some examples where the map is already integrated: And here are some examples of websites that have placed links to the map:

What prominent people say about repowermap.org
Simone Niggli-Luder

"Ich finde das Projekt repowermap.org sehr interessant, denn nur durch konkrete Beispiele werden die Leute auch wirklich angesprochen!"

Simone Niggli-Luder, was 20 times world champion in orienteering, best orienteering athlete of all times; her plus-energy building produces more energy with photovoltaics than the the building's energy need.

Renate Schubert

"repowermap.org visualizes the diffusion of renewable energies and those interested in setting up a new generation unit can find examples in their neighbourhood. This is an important precondition for a future with renewable energies."

Renate Schubert, Professor for Economics, ETH Zurich; Head of institute, Institute for Environmental Decisions (IED), ETH Zurich; Member of the German Advisory Council on Global Change (WBGU)

Evi Allemann

"repowermap.org macht sichtbar, wie gross das Potenzial für eine Energie-Zukunft mit Erneuerbaren und höherer Energieeffizienz ist."

Evi Allemann, Nationalrätin

Bernard Matthey

« Donner envie de s’équiper d’une installation solaire thermique ou photovoltaïque en respectant le paysage et l’architecture. Une tâche que repowermap.org s’efforce de mener à bien et que l’on doit encourager. »

Bernard Matthey, fondateur de Swissolar, ancien député, président de la commune de Rochefort – NE

Katharina Prelicz-Huber

"repowermap.org zeigt, wo durch die Nutzung erneuerbarer Energien ökologische und soziale Verantwortung für die Zukunft übernommen wird."

Katharina Prelicz-Huber, Nationalrätin

Roger Nordmann

"repowermap.org zeigt die grosse Stärke der erneuerbaren Energien: sie sind dezentral und so ungefährlich, dass man sie dort erntet, wo die Menschen sie brauchen."

Roger Nordmann, Nationalrat, Präsident von Swissolar

Hansjörg Hassler

"Die fossilen Brennstoffe verursachen zu einem grossen Teil die Klimaerwärmung. Als Landwirt sehe ich die Gefahren dieser Entwicklung. Die Landwirtschaft wird eine der ersten Branchen sein, die davon direkt betroffen ist. Extreme Wettersituationen werden zunehmen, zum Nachteil der Nahrungsmittelproduktion. Darum müssen wir jetzt umdenken und erneuerbare Energien fördern und einsetzen, der Umwelt und der zukünftigen Generationen zuliebe."

Hansjörg Hassler, Nationalrat, setzt im Naturpark Beverin auf erneuerbare Energien

Geri Müller

"mit weniger Energie mehr Power, zuhause ist es möglich!"

Geri Müller, Nationalrat, hat zuhause mit Isolation über 50% der Heizenergie eingespart.

Alec v.Graffenried

"Die Energiewende findet bereits statt, auch in der Schweiz! Auf repowermap.org wird die Energiezukunft sichtbar!"

Alec v.Graffenried, Nationalrat, Sonnenkollektoren-Besitzer seit 1994.
