With this program, the state government is pursuing the goal of covering 25 percent of Berlin's electricity supply from solar energy as quickly as possible. Potential analyses show that the expansion targets can only be achieved if all building types are included. In a densely populated city like Berlin, this also includes apartment buildings on which tenant electricity systems can be implemented.

Fact Sheet
In 2014, the "Forum Fischschutz und Fischabstieg" was able to develop a common understanding of the size of a screen up to which functioning mechanical fish protection and descent systems, including the necessary cleaning technology, can be implemented. The objective of the research underlying this Fact Sheet 04 was to verify whether the statement of the "Forum Fischschutz und Fischabstieg" is confirmed in the actual operation of existing fish protection screens. Fact Sheet 04 "Technische Funktionsfähigkeit großer Fischschutzrechen in der Praxis bestätigt (Technical functionality of large fish protection screens confirmed in practice)" is available for download.
