Networks

In September 2026, ÖKOTEC will launch the third round of its energy efficiency and climate protection network for the plastics processing industry. The network provides a platform for professional exchange and practical collaboration.

Networks are an important building block for achieving the German government’s energy and climate protection goals. We are offering a new network for companies in the metal industry at the start of 2026.

The Energy Efficiency Act (EnEfG) obliges companies with an average total energy consumption of more than 7.5 gigawatt hours (GWh) per year to set up an energy or environmental management system in accordance with ISO 50001 or EMAS. We support affected companies with our services.

Eleven companies from Berlin, Brandenburg and Saxony-Anhalt implemented more than 190 energy-saving projects in the Berlin plus energy efficiency network over the last three years, reducing their CO2 emissions by around 22,000 t CO2.

During the three-year network period, the 13 participating companies achieved savings of up to ten percent of their respective energy consumption. In total, the participants implemented around 80 individual measures during the network period.

The energy efficiency network of the industry association vero is intended to reduce energy consumption in the companies and thus contribute to climate protection. ÖKOTEC accompanies the network as an energy technology consultant.
