Union Investment focuses on energy efficiency through GETEC ENERGIE
Hanover, 12.06.2017 - The real estate investor Union Investment Real Estate GmbH and the energy service provider GETEC ENERGIE AG (GETEC ENERGIE) have further expanded their existing cooperation this year. GETEC ENERGIE has been supplying the communal areas of Union Investment's 130 or so real estate properties with electricity from renewable energy sources since January 2016. This year, GETEC ENERGIE has now also taken over metering point operation and the conversion of over 300 metering devices for Union Investment via its company GETEC metering GmbH.
"For Union Investment's German real estate portfolio, we are pursuing a holistic approach consisting of the optimized procurement of energy from sustainable energy sources and the creation of transparency and controllability of costs using the latest and intelligent measurement technology," explains Bernward Peters, CEO of GETEC ENERGIE. To this end, a tailor-made concept was developed for Union Investment and the settlement processes were redefined at the grassroots level. "With our modern and flexible tranche model, we can procure green electricity for our customers while making optimum use of market prices. At the same time, modern metering technology enables efficient energy management and monitoring. All consumption values are available to the customer promptly and up-to-date in the customer portal. Fluctuations in the property portfolio in the event of interim purchases and sales can be fully offset by this model."
"The cooperation with GETEC ENERGIE has proven its worth," says Jan von Mallinckrodt, Head of Sustainability at Union Investment Real Estate GmbH. "Sustainability and resource conservation characterize our self-image and form important pillars of our corporate policy and our social responsibility."
