Germany – Accumulators, primary cells and primary batteries – Lieferung eines Batteriespeichers mit Ladeeinrichtung für Fahrzeuge (Energy Storage Governance) für die Polizeidirektion Osnabrück

The European Union aims to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 and a 55% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. The national authorities in Germany and the Netherlands have set even more ambitious climate targets, aiming for CO2 neutrality already in the 2030s. The state as an institution wants to set a good example in terms of CO2 neutrality in both the Netherlands and Germany, so the procurement of e-vehicles is at the top of the mobility equipment list. However, e-mobility requires a radical change in public infrastructure, especially in the field of energy supply. Emerging dependencies on continuous power availability and stable grids present "new" major challenges for public structures. Existing emergency safeguards for infrastructure based on fossil energy carriers must be rethought in this context, especially for so-called "critical infrastructure" such as police, fire departments, rescue services, hospitals, etc. The consortium of 7 partners (3 public organisations, 1 SME, 3 research institutions) is developing a joint exemplary governance for mobile energy storage and charging systems, primarily for police authorities in the German-Dutch border region. This system can be used with simple adjustments for other critical infrastructure institutions (KRITIS) such as fire departments, civil protection or rescue services. Relevant developments are taking place in the areas of central joint governance, technical specifications and the fundamentally necessary data security. The storage and charging system, which will be fully designed after extensive testing in the later application area, will then provide relevant insights and planning documents for future storage and charging systems for the KRITIS.
