Energy transition with profit sharing and climate adaptation
The BSW wants municipalities and residents to share more in the profits of solar and wind farms and criticizes Brandenburg's high grid fees. Climate protection should pay off for citizens; instead of more bureaucracy, the platform relies on technical innovation and adapting to climate impacts.
Towns and residents should get money from wind and solar farms. Power should not cost more in Brandenburg than elsewhere. Climate protection should not make life more expensive. The state should protect itself better against heat, drought, and floods.
The platform finds it unacceptable that Brandenburg generates power for Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg while paying higher electricity prices. Climate and environmental protection should succeed mainly through engineering innovations that can be implemented quickly. The BSW rejects what it sees as excessive bureaucracy and a weakening of municipal planning powers in the name of climate protection. Adaptation includes flood protection, support for drought-resistant crops, and investment in heat protection and cooling, for example in hospitals and care homes.

„Wir wollen öffentliche Förderung und Bürgerbeteiligung bei der Energiewende hin zu erneuerbaren Energien und eine stärkere Beteiligung von Kommunen und ihren Bürgern am Gewinn aus Solar- und Windparks.“Translation: We want public funding and citizen participation in the energy transition toward renewable energy and a greater share for municipalities and their residents in the profits from solar and wind farms.
Placement
- Economyleaning more state
Public funding and profit sharing for municipalities and residents redistribute returns from energy production.
- Climateleaning growth first
The platform accepts renewables but puts prices and local planning authority ahead of climate rules and stresses adaptation over stricter requirements.
