The ERG's efforts have been recognised with the prestigious "Climate Municipal" award, bestowed upon them by the Lower Saxony Climate and Energy Agency. The project was awarded €15,000 as part of the accolade. The project's goal is to convert the regional energy supply in Göttingen to renewable energy sources.
