Dimitrios Tassikas sounds confident. “We want to set an example throughout Germany,” says the 46-year-old construction investor, who owns a plumbing company and a real estate company in Gütersloh. He has been dealing with the energy transition for a long time.
“We are shutting down the nuclear power plants in Germany, but at the same time we are importing nuclear power from Belgium,” Tassikas complains. “That shows that many energy concepts are not sustainable at all.”
In order to change something, you have to think in a completely new way and sometimes take risks. Like him.
Tassikas would like to build a quarter in Gütersloh that supplies itself with green electricity and heat. But not only that: The energy for the “H2-Revier” is to be produced on site using biogas, wind power and solar systems and stored in the form of hydrogen.
In this way, sufficient energy would be available even when the sun isn’t shining or the wind is blowing.
