Electricity, heat & mobility
Provide warmth, keep moving, plan for the future: BayWa Energy & BayWa r.e.
BayWa Energie is dedicated to two basic needs: it takes care of the heat in our homes and the mobility in our lives. With BayWa r.e., we are working on renewable energies and thus on solutions for the future.
Too expensive, too early, too complicated? BayWa expert clears up prejudices against heat pumps

Can you reduce CO2 emissions with waste oil?
Lubricants keep our machines running and ensure that the gearbox, engine and hydraulics do not come to a standstill. After a certain time, it is advisable to replace the lubricant in the machines. What remains is waste oil. But this can be turned back into a high-performance lubricant.
A roof for raspberries generates electricity for over 2,800 households

The three biggest obstacles to our climate targets
It's the decade that counts. Politicians, companies and the public are aware of the pressure to act on the climate crisis. So what is really standing in the way of the climate targets? And how are recent crises affecting these goals? This is exactly what the representative study by BayWa r.e. explores – and uncovers crucial discrepancies between politics and business.
Electricity above, potatoes below: how agrivoltaic systems work
Photovoltaic systems no longer just belong on roofs, they have long been seen on large fields. This is a good thing and a shame at the same time – after all, you could also grow something on the field, such as grain. However, this is no longer an either/or decision. Agri-PV systems have long been able to be installed above fields. This allows farmers to harvest electricity and fruit at the same time! Our expert explains how this works in an interview.
