🌬️ Windenergie am Dreibündenstein: Erste Abklärungen laufen Das Windeignungsgebiet Dreibündenstein ist für die Aufnahme in den kantonalen Richtplan vorgesehen und könnte einen wichtigen Beitrag zur nachhaltigen Stromproduktion leisten. Besonders im Winter, wenn der Energiebedarf am grössten ist, kann #Windkraft eine sinnvolle Ergänzung zu #Wasserkraft und #Solarenergie sein. 🗨️ Einbindung der Bevölkerung Die Axpo Group prüft gemeinsam mit der Gemeinde Churwalden und der Gemeinde Domleschg das Potenzial des Standorts. Die Zustimmung der Bevölkerung ist eine zentrale Voraussetzung. Deshalb fanden am 18. März in Churwalden und am 19. März in Rodels öffentliche Infoveranstaltungen statt. Dort stellte Axpo das Vorprojekt vor und beantwortete Fragen der Bevölkerung. Mit dabei war das Axpo #Windmobil, das mit multimedialen Inhalten die Windenergie greifbar machte. 📊 Windmessmast liefert wichtige Daten Als nächster Schritt wird ein Windmessmast errichtet, der über ein Jahr hinweg Daten zu Windgeschwindigkeit, Wetterbedingungen und Fledermausaktivitäten sammelt. Diese Daten sind essenziell für die weitere Planung. ❄️ Winterstrom für die Schweiz Cédric Aubert, Leiter Wind Schweiz bei Axpo: „Zwei Drittel der Windstromproduktion fallen in den Winter – genau dann, wenn wir sie am dringendsten brauchen. Die Standortprüfung am Dreibündenstein ist ein wichtiger Schritt in diese Richtung“ #Windenergie #Winterstrom #ErneuerbareEnergien #Axpo #Versorgungssicherheit

🌬️💡 Bringing wind energy to the people How big is a wind turbine really? This is a key question for many—especially in regions where new wind projects are being planned. At Axpo Group, we prioritise transparency and open dialogue to address these concerns directly on-site. That’s why we took an innovative approach on Flumserberg: using drones to visualise the actual size of a planned wind turbine. ⚡ 📍 100+ interested participants attended our information event, gaining a clearer picture of how the project could integrate into the landscape and having the opportunity to ask their questions. 💬 Open dialogue is key We engage directly with local communities, listen to their concerns, and provide fact-based insights to build understanding and trust. 🎥 Curious to see how it worked? In the attached video, Cédric Aubert explains our approach! #WindEnergy #Transparency #RenewableEnergy

🔬 European #energy prices dropped in February amid heightened geopolitical uncertainty, despite bullish market fundamentals. Andy Sommer, Head of Fundamental #Analysis, #Modelling & #Meteorology, and his team provide the key insights: ❄️ 1. Colder temperatures increased energy demand, with Germany recording temperatures 5°C lower than last year. 🍃 2. #Wind power underperformed, with wind generation in CWE dropping ~17 GW below seasonal norms, while coal-fired power surged 40% YoY to fill the gap. ⛽ 3. Falling prices for #gas, #coal, and EU carbon allowances (#EUAs) offset bullish market trends, driving power futures downwards. Looking ahead to March, strong LNG imports could ease gas markets, but policy uncertainty—extended EU gas storage rules, the Clean Industrial Deal, and escalating trade tensions—keeps risks in play. 🔍 Get exclusive insights in this month’s European Energy Markets Monthly (#EEMM): https://lnkd.in/eyC-UYzA #Axpo #AxpoEEMM #EnergyCommodities #EnergyMarkets #CleanIndustrialDeal
