Redange, Luxembourg
The CONCERTO project in Redange, Luxembourg covers more than a tenth of the area of the country. The Redange canton is an agricultural area with ten villages and 14,000 inhabitants. Together with other communities, its objective is to switch over to renewable energy supply.
Redange already has a reputation in Luxembourg as a pioneer in energy efficiency and renewable energy. The project activities are a further step in the direction towards greater sustainability.
The CONCERTO approach
The ultimate target for Redange is to meet 100% of the energy demand by renewable sources. Solar power will play a big role and a regional biomass master plan will be put in place, too. Four biogas combined heat and power plants are currently being planned during the project which will be fueled by domestic and agricultural waste, as well as energy crops.
A further important aspect of the work in Redange will be the refurbishment of dwellings – single and double households are the standard in the district – and administrative buildings. Private occupants get the opportunity to retrofit their buildings 30% above the energy efficiency standard. At least two public buildings will be treated in the same way.

Highlights
SEMS Video-clip (COMIC) developed by the SEMS Project in Weilerbach:
The old story of the Three little pigs, in the age of the Climate Change, needs to be reviewed: the little pigs, Semsi, Susi and Sibbi, have to face the Energie Riese (the Energy giant) who asks for increasingly higher energy costs. But Semsi, who built a Zero Emission Home, managed to find a way to solve the problem! For an audience of both children and adults, it is a promotion of a sustainable way of living.
