Energy through
the winter.

Practical solutions for prolonged grid outages — sustainable, simple and inexpensive to maintain.

Light and heat
when the grid is down.

The goal is to preserve essential services during a difficult winter when the central grid may be unavailable for many hours or longer. We start with critical loads — lighting, communications, heating, water, lifts, pumps, medical and work equipment — and favour modular systems that are simple to operate, repair and expand.

01 · APARTMENT OWNER

Apartment autonomy

Keep lighting, communications, charging, refrigeration and, where possible, individual heating operational without unsafe indoor generator use.

  • portable power station or safe battery system;
  • LED lighting and a defined critical-appliance list;
  • shared association solution for pumps, heating point, access and lifts.
Financing: own budget; shared systems through association programmes.Detailed route
02 · ASSOCIATION HEAD

Power for the building

Keep critical apartment-building infrastructure running through a prolonged outage.

  • backup for heating, pumps, water, lighting and communications;
  • solar plus storage, heat pump or generator based on calculations;
  • co-owner resolution, transparent budget and operating responsibility.
Financing: Energy Support, GreenDIM and local programmes.Detailed route
03 · PRIVATE-HOME OWNER

A resilient household

Maintain heating, water, lighting, communications and essential appliances without excessive fuel use.

  • reduce demand and create a critical-load circuit;
  • hybrid inverter, battery and phased solar-panel expansion;
  • generator only as backup for long periods of low generation.
Financing: state programme for household owners.Detailed route
04 · ORGANISATION HEAD

Operational continuity

Preserve critical processes, safety, communications and essential services during winter outages.

  • separate critical equipment from loads that can be switched off;
  • modular backup with a simple maintenance schedule;
  • trained staff, consumable stock and a switching plan.
Financing: business programmes, own funds or donor instruments.Detailed route

Where to look
for financing.

These state-backed instruments serve different applicants. Terms, budgets and application windows may change; always rely on the current programme rules and consultation with the bank or fund.
