Home Info About

Objective

repowermap.org is a non-profit NGO founded in Bern, Switzerland, in 2008. Its objective is to contribute to a more widespread use of renewable energies and energy efficiency.

Take local action to contribute to climate protection and show it on repowermap.org! We provide a platform to inspire people with local examples for renewable energies and energy efficiency. The examples and the accompanying information help others to take action as well.

Who adds examples to the map?

People like you! If you made your own experiences or know an example for renewable energies or an energy efficient building, you are invited to add project examples on repowermap.org. Add your examples and contribute to the initiative to movitate others, in particular in your neighbourhood, to use these technologies and to assist them in doing so. Each example counts!

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 other organisations 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:

repowermap.org would like thank the following public figures and celebrities for their support:

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

Evi Allemann, Nationalrätin

« 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

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

Simone Niggli-Luder, 17-fache Weltmeisterin und beste Orientierungsläuferin aller Zeiten; ihr Plusenergie-Haus produziert dank Photovoltaik mehr Energie, als es verbraucht.

"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)

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

Katharina Prelicz-Huber, Nationalrätin

"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

"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
