Smartes Quartier Jena-Lobeda

Wirkung und Übertragbarkeit 

Der Erfolg des Smarten Quartiers reicht weit über Jena hinaus. Die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse fließen heute in neue Projekte ein – etwa in das Reallabor der Energiewende JenErgieReal, das bis 2027 ein vernetztes, digitales Energie- und Quartierssystem entwickelt. 

Auch die Gesundheitsangebote werden im Rahmen des Smart-City-Projekts weiterentwickelt: Der Telemedizinraum und die Gesundheitsapartments dienen als Blaupause für wohnortnahe medizinische Versorgung – auch für den ländlichen Raum. 

Together with partners from science, the housing sector and industry, the Stadtwerke Jena Group wants to demonstrate how cities can be sustainably supplied with electricity and heat in the future in a real-world laboratory for the energy transition. The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection is funding the implementation of the JenErgieReal project in Jena with around 20.4 million euros over a period of five years. The aim is to develop solutions for a needs-based and cost-effective energy transition in cities, and to test them in practice.

In 2019, JenErgieReal was one of 20 winning projects nationwide in the „Ideenwettbewerb Reallabore der Energiewende“ (ideas competition for real-world laboratories of the energy transition) organised by the then Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy. In total, more than 90 ideas were submitted. JenErgieReal was the only Thuringian entry to make it into the selection of projects eligible for funding.
JenErgieReal is intended to serve as a model for the sustainable energy-related reorganisation of urban spaces and thus also to become relevant beyond the Thuringian city. In particular, the overarching consideration of all parts of the urban energy system - from producer to consumer, from transport to industry and commerce to housing - could make Jena a pilot location for the transformation of energy supply in cities.
