Anika Lange of the German Energy Agency Discusses Hagen's Climate-Friendly Digital Transformation Project and City-Wide Energy Management System"

Anika Lange from the German Energy Agency (Dena) presents a practical insight into their project "Climate Municipality Digital" in Hagen. The initiative aims to make municipalities more climate-friendly by leveraging digital technologies, as 75% of CO2 emissions are attributed to cities. The project involves equipping Hagen with various sensors that collect data on traffic, buildings, industry, heating systems, and air quality. This data is stored in an IoT platform hosted within the city and distributed via an urban data platform and to an energy management system. The primary goals include enhancing climate protection through digitization and aiding other communities by documenting processes and lessons learned for replication. Key challenges addressed involve lack of transparency about energy flows and consumption patterns solved by comprehensive sensor deployment; however, there remains a need for greater awareness among stakeholders regarding the benefits of energy efficiency. The project's motivation centers around operational goals such as compliance with legal requirements, environmental protection, improved energy performance resulting in cost savings. Data collected from smart meters is transferred through gateways to ensure only relevant information reaches the IoT hub using open network protocols suited for smart city applications. Thus far results show potential economic benefits alongside achieving significant advancements toward sustainable urban living.

Europe's rapid solar expansion is pushing power grids to their limits. Grid operators across the continent are now turning to co-located solar-plus-storage systems to stabilize networks, absorb excess generation and unlock new connection capacity. These projects mark a shift from asset-centric storage design to grid-integrated operation and market-based procurement. This session highlights recent 2026 initiatives that show how integrated solar-plus-storage assets can reinforce the grid by providing congestion relief, voltage and inertia support and firm capacity, thereby enabling higher renewable penetration and broader market participation. Speakers will share lessons from real-world projects demonstrating how close coordination between grid operators, developers and flexibility providers transforms solar-plus-storage systems from a balancing resource into essential grid infrastructure.
