Focus

Energy & Involvement

Many municipalities want to implement the energy transition, but the population often does not understand the funding programs or the specific opportunities available locally. At the same time, there is often a lack of local initiatives that motivate people to participate, whether it be in replacing heating systems, establishing heating networks, or using solar energy. The energy transition begins at your doorstep!

At enovation, we start where the energy transition becomes tangible: in the neighborhood, in conversation, in the community. Our program brings together homeowners, businesses, planners, and authorities, and demonstrates how individual decisions can lead to shared solutions. We call this: Involvement instead of just information.

Why act now?

  • Funding programs end in 2030 – what is not initiated today will be financially lost later.
  • Decentralized solutions bring advantages: More independence, lower operating costs, higher resilience.
  • Planning together saves money – e.g. in heating networks or area developments.
  • The technology is there – we create the necessary involvement.

What distinguishes our program

1

Targeted & local

Together with you, we define the goals and appropriate measures—whether in the planning of neighborhood heating or solar networks, the implementation of mobility solutions, or in regional large-scale projects.

2

Participation with impact

From information evenings at the community center to project groups and digital platforms, we support you with our services in the way that best suits your needs. To this end, we design the measures for optimal impact.

3

activating & networking

We bring those affected and experts together at the same table – and as equals. Because technical knowledge alone is not enough to achieve the goals of the energy transition: The best solutions arise when people have a say and participate in the decision-making process.

4

Involvement as a key

Our focus is on genuine participation—not just informative, but actionable. Those who invest want to understand. We create transparency and trust—including for financial participation or community solutions.

5

Focus on benefits

We don’t proselytize; we show people the benefits. That’s why we highlight opportunities, ensure early coordination, and provide targeted support for your agenda.

Heating replacement in practice

The energy transition is also, above all, a heat transition. But what does the departure from fossil systems mean for the owners and administrations in the district? The successful pilot in the city of Zurich has provided answers.

Heating replacement as a municipal task

Five instruments showing how enovation noticeably relieves and measurably supports municipalities in implementing the 2025 energy strategy.

Meet-up for property management companies

Everyone agrees, but few actually do it: early coordination in the neighborhood. We support you in bringing everyone to the table.

Who benefits from the 'Energy & Involvement' offer?

The energy transition on site will only succeed if everyone pulls together – authorities, experts, owners and the local population. Our program is aimed at municipalities and partners who not only want to inform their population, but also really involve them. Here you will find answers to the most important questions about the target group and the benefits of our offer:

For all municipalities that want to actively shape their energy transition and use local potentials – instead of waiting for central solutions. Our offer works in small as well as larger municipalities.

No. The program helps with the start as well as with existing projects. It creates clarity, activates participation and shows ways to implementation – whether for heating replacement, solar energy or a heating network.

Building authorities, energy agencies, utility companies, area developers or urban planning offices – all those who bear local responsibility and want to bring people together.

You not only receive more knowledge about needs and potentials – you gain support, avoid resistance and the target groups reduce planning costs through community solutions or coordinated implementations.

Municipalities, banks, energy suppliers or local companies. All those who want to benefit from a strong local energy transition can support the program – and pursue their own goals such as CO₂ reduction or customer loyalty.

We ensure impact - guaranteed!

Our team provides straightforward yet competent support. And ensures support with maximum impact for your projects.
