- ‘The power
reset’ now available on Amazon Prime Video in 3 countries
- Documentary narrates the story of Wunsiedel in Germany and the
positive impact of its energy transition on residents and the environment
‘The power reset: A town creating the
energy blueprint for the world’, a new documentary
film produced by Siemens, has just launched on Amazon Prime Video in the U.S.,
U.K. and Germany. The film narrates the story of Wunsiedel, a small town in the
German region of Bavaria, and its inspiring energy transition journey. The town
of around 10,000 people has successfully created a distributed energy system based
exclusively on renewable sources and enhanced with digital technology, making
it a lighthouse project for a sustainable energy future.
Cities account for roughly 80 percent of the energy consumed worldwide and generate roughly 75 percent of all carbon emissions. With more than two-thirds of the world’s population predicted to live in urban areas by 2050, cities are coming under increasing pressure. Digitally connected smart cities can help overcome some of the most pressing challenges of our time, including clean water, adequate waste removal as well as reduced pollution caused by buildings. The Expo 2020 Dubai site, with infrastructure connected by Siemens digital technology, provides a blueprint for smart cities globally. As the Premier Partner for Infrastructure Digitalization at Expo 2020 Dubai, Siemens has digitally linked more than 130 buildings at a purpose-built site twice the size of Monaco.
