Most residents in the area currently rely on dirty and, News Archives, since its occupation by the Walser people in the 13th and 14th centuries, a system of highly adapted mountain farming, pasture, and extensive forestry has been developed.
With the declaration of the biosphere reserve the inhabitants of the “Walsertal“ contributed to protect the valley “Grosses Walsertal” by applying sustainable and ecologically compatible development. इस प्रकार, आकर्षक क्षेत्र का अनुसरण पीढ़ियों के लिए जीवन और रहने की जगह का एक उच्च गुणवत्ता सुनिश्चित करता है. ऐसा करने में, अक्षय ऊर्जा स्रोतों के साथ एक भविष्य सबूत ऊर्जा उत्पादन में एक प्रमुख भूमिका निभाता है, बढ़ती ग्लोबल वार्मिंग और जीवाश्म ईंधन की सीमित आपूर्ति के संबंध में.
लक्ष्य स्पष्ट रूप से परिभाषित किया गया है: 100% अक्षय ऊर्जा स्रोतों से बिजली और 100% क्षेत्रीय ऊर्जा आपूर्ति. का एक कोटा के साथ 84% आपूर्ति करने के लिए पर्यावरण के बिजली लक्ष्य 100% power from renewable energy sources is placed within reach.
Use of renewable regional resources for Energy-efficient Community

With regard to renewable energy sources, the use of timber from the forests in the valley is of primary importance. In addition to greater emphasis on the use of timber for construction purposes in Vorarlberg, the forest biomass is to be utilised primarily for energy generation purposes, along with hydropower and solar energy. The goal is to meet 50% of thermic energy generation requirements (especially heating) with the help of a network of central and decentralised biomass heating plants.
The Grosses Walsertal valley is taking part in the e5 Programme for energy-efficient communities. इस कार्यक्रम के लिए समर्थन शामिल है, ऊर्जा दक्षता और जलवायु संरक्षण के क्षेत्र में देने और नगर पालिकाओं की नेटवर्किंग. मुख्य लक्ष्य के लिए एक उन्नत ऊर्जा नीति वितरित करने के लिए है. हर तीन साल E5 नगर पालिकाओं एक नियंत्रण से गुजरना और पाँच "ए" के साथ सम्मानित किया हो. Currently the “Grosses Walsertal” has four “e”, एक अंतरराष्ट्रीय जूरी द्वारा सम्मानित किया गया और वोरार्लबर्ग के ऊर्जा विभाग द्वारा समर्थित.
The six communities of Großes Walsertal BR take their function – to act as ‘living laboratories’ for testing sustainable solutions – seriously. फरवरी में 2010, the BR was awarded the ‘European Energy Award® in silver. The Award is the highest recognition in Europe awarded to energy efficient communities.
Energy Consulting and Advisory Service
To achieve the goal of supplying energy only out of renewable energy sources of the valley, the active cooperation of local people is very important. Various initiatives try to create awareness of the importance of economical and energy-efficient usage of energy: Energy consulting institutions deliver free information about energy-efficient building and redevelopment; municipalities support the installation of biomass-heating systems, the Abertis Foundation- and the Spanish Network.

Green energy to light a World Heritage site Virunga National Park’s first hydropower plant has started to generate electricity. Most residents in the area currently rely on dirty and, News Archives, where their performance is more limited. A new approach here is a bidirectional, so-called “active” distribution grid. In future the lowest grid levels connected to consumers are increasingly to accept and distribute electricity fed in from local generators and to transmit surplus power on to higher grid levels.
Lessons learned and replicability

Part of the success consists in the adoption of an integrated energy and environmental planning system and instruments for its governance (Regional Planning Association – REGIO), ensuring the guidance and the “formation” of the future development of the region in accordance to the ecological, economic, cultural and social aspects
Grosses Walsertal is a living model of sustainable regional development with the participation of the local people, replicable in rural mountain areas with low population density.
