Berlin Exhibition Grounds
Messe Berlin with its fair grounds comprising nearly 550,000 m2 of floor space, 170,000 m2 of hall space (26 halls) and the International Congress Centre (ICC) Berlin is a crucial economic factor for the German capital and is among the ten top-selling trade fair corporations in the world.
The customised GETEC energy solution
The challenge
The energy costs associated with annual heat requirements of approx. 60 million kWh and power requirements of approx. 37 million kWh as well as the associated CO2 emissions represent a significant locational factor. GETEC was asked to develop a cost-efficient and sustainable solution.
The goal
Therefore, Messe Berlin’s goal was to lower the energy costs and the CO2 emissions.
Our solution
Energy savings performance contracting and innovative plant engineering enabled GETEC to lower the energy consumption of Messe Berlin by approximately 30%. This saves approx. 10,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.

UNESCO world heritage site housing estate "Weiße Stadt" in Berlin-Reinickendorf
The successful transition toward renewable energies is a collaborative effort. GETEC in cooperation with real estate companies has been developing successful energy efficiency initiatives since 2013. The foundation was laid with Deutsche Wohnen SE and the milestone project “Weiße Stadt [White City]” of the joint energy services company G+D Energiemanagement mbH.
The customised GETEC energy solution
The goal is to generate additional profits with a sustainable and consistent realisation of all possible savings potentials.
The challenge
Supply of approx. 2,500 households with heat / combined heat and power station and district heating network with 31 substations
The goal
Reduction of the primary energy factor of the Weiße Stadt district heating territory from 1.3 to 0.89
Our solution
• Set-up of 2 x 5.8 MW hot water boilers
• Maximum energy efficiency by using economisers in the waste gas stream of the hot water boilers
• Set-up of an ultra-modern CHP unit (1 MWel)
• Feed-in into the public 10 kV grid

Cargill GmbH, Riesa
Cargill GmbH is a leading producer of vegetable oils made from rape and sunflower seeds. Aside from the manufacture of bottled edible oils, the Riesa location delivers refined vegetable oils to manufacturers of margarine and gourmet foods.
The customised GETEC energy solution
The challenge
In the past, Cargill GmbH in Riesa generated the heat required for the production with a natural gas-fired conventional steam boiler system. The site’s demand for electricity is ensured solely through external procurement from the public grid. The purpose was to devise a new solution, which is at once sustainable and cost-efficient and guarantees greater independence.
The goal
In order to free itself from the political conditions on the energy market, the site in Riesa was on the lookout for a suitable technical solution for generating heat and power that would be cost-effective over the long term and meet the demand situation currently experienced and forecast over the medium term.
Our solution
GETEC set up a combined heat and power generation plant (CHP) on the basis of a multi-modular engine-based cogeneration system (EBCS) as well as a waste heat recovery boiler arranged downstream. The multi-modular design enables the flexible operation of the EBCS, which is adapted to the respective requirements structure. In addition, redundancy of the energy supply is ensured.
Facts and Figures
CO2 savings
CO2 emissions are reduced by 7,000 tons a year.

UELZENA eG (Uelzen)
The Uelzena Group is a leading food and milk processing provider. Aside from the manufacture of butter and butterfat at the Uelzen production site, the customers’ own products are spray dried by means of high-pressure steam.
The customised GETEC energy solution
Modern and efficient energy supply concept for the dairy industry.
The challenge
Upgrade of the existing boiler house that supplies steam for the dairy, under continuous operation and without interruption.
The goal
The coverage of the high requirements for heat and power at the Uelzen location was to be realised in an economically viable fashion as compared to the separate generation of heat in the existing boiler system as well as compared to the external acquisition of power. At the same time, it was essential to minimise the risks associated with the transition toward renewable energies, such as grid fluctuations and total loss of power.
Our solution
GETEC set up a cogeneration power plant with two CHP units and a waste heat recovery boiler. The system is completed with the new construction of two natural gas boilers (shell boiler), which replace two outdated existing boilers. In addition, GETEC is supporting Uelzena’s power supply by implementing a smart load management system.
