Renewable energy Munich: Interview with the mayor of Unterföhring – District of Munich

Unterfoehring’s mayor Andreas Kemmelmeyer is harsh on Munich’s mayor and the city council. He calls for geothermal energy to finally be used instead of continuing to burn waste and hard coal in the Munich North thermal power station.

At the Munich climate autumn, many people come together who want to advance the energy transition in the state capital. For the 16th time, there will be four weeks from October 7th to November 6th with many lectures and activities on traffic, construction and urban planning of the future. The mayor of Unterföhring, Andreas Kemmelmeyer, also has something to say about this. In the Unterföhringer corridor is the thermal power station north of Stadtwerke München, whose coal block should actually now be switched off after a referendum. The city wanted to replace this with gas. Kemmelmeyer thinks both are not a good idea. In the run-up to the climate autumn on Thursday, October 6, at 7 p.m. in the Munich Zukunftssalon, he will give a lecture on “Fossil power plants – or rather renewable energies?”
