Exemplary Energy and Climate Initiative: energy targets exceeded
Bern, 22.6.2021 - In 2013, the Exemplary Energy and Climate Initiative was launched under the name Federal Exemplary Energy. At the time, seven parties were involved, and their aim was to reduce the energy consumption of the federal government and of its associated companies and to increase their energy efficiency. Now numbering ten, the parties involved can look back at a successful first phase. They increased their energy efficiency to 31.1% compared to the 2006 baseline (target: 25%), and the share of renewable energies has risen from 35.5% to 60.2%. These figures are contained in the report on the first phase 2013–20 published today. For the second phase of the initiative, which runs from now until 2030, five additional players have joined the group.
