GERMANY: New Energy Husum, the leading renewable energy trade fair, offers trade and private visitors, job seekers and families numerous informative and entertaining events from 21 to 24 March.
The attractive fringe events include the JES! youth competition, a film about the energy transition, and the New Energy Slam speech competition. “The events providing an entertaining insight into the world of renewable energy”, says Peter Becker, managing director of Messe Husum & Congress. The Renewable Energy Career Days provide information about the latest jobs available, and bring together job seekers and employers in the biomass, solar and wind sectors.
During the fair, last year’s three winners of the JES Jugend.Energie.Spass will be presenting their projects in Hall 3 (Stand 3HS3). The winners of the first prize analysed the complete energy consumption at their school and worked out ideas for improvement. One suggestion is that a photovoltaic system should cover the school’s power needs. The winners of the third prize constructed a parabolic reflector for heating domestic water supply with solar energy.
In 2013 the competition is once again being organised by S.A.T. Sonnen- und AlternativTechnik with Schleswig-Holstein’s minister for energy transition, agriculture, the environment and rural areas, Dr Robert Habeck, as patron. Also supporting the competition for the fifth time are Nord-Ostsee Sparkasse, Stadtwerke Niebüll, Gemeindewerke Leck, Stadtwerke Bredstedt and Messe Husum. Applications are invited from young people aged between 14 and 22 years old with ideas for how renewable energy generated in Schleswig-Holstein can be stored.
The main prize is a smart meter system for installation in the winner’s school, and a personal meeting with Dr Robert Habeck. Deadline for applications is 31 May 2013.
