Striking a balance between energy efficiency requirements and rising costs for customers
The regulatory landscape is becoming increasingly stringent, narrowing down the options available for innovative and sustainable action
Reduced profitability of tenant electricity models due to cost-intensive techniques and billing processes
Opportunities
Innovative ways of improving building performance
Use of buildings to produce renewable energy and expand Vonovia’s own energy supply
Introduction of tenant electricity models
Digitalization in building operation and energy supply
Risks
Lack of acceptance within society for allocating modernization costs to tenants, as is allowed under the current legislation, and for rent increases following energy-related modernization measures
Modernization work not profitable due to regulation and rising costs
Statutory regulations stand in the way of implementing sustainable energy projects, e.g., tenant electricity models
Continual changes in funding principles is eroding trust in the planning security of the projects, and thus in investment security
