About EnergyCheckUlm
Understand energy.
Prepare to make
your own decisions.
EnergyCheckUlm helps people in Ulm and the surrounding region understand their own energy transition and prepare their next steps.
A first point of contact
for your energy questions.
EnergyCheckUlm brings together information on electric mobility, solar PV with batteries and heating. It focuses on everyday questions: what suits my housing situation? What should I clarify? Who can help me?
The platform is for anyone interested in these topics in Ulm and the surrounding region. No prior technical knowledge is required. It explicitly includes different housing situations and starting points.
Built on research and regional cooperation.
EnergyCheckUlm grew out of the GetMyWallboxNOW project. The City of Ulm’s Digital Agenda and Ulm University of Applied Sciences combine practical municipal experience with smart grid research in this project. The platform makes questions about the home energy transition easier to understand and helps people prepare their own decisions.

Funded within the Ulm4CleverCity model project
GetMyWallboxNOW is part of Ulm’s model project Ulm4CleverCity. Funding is provided by the Federal Ministry for Housing, Urban Development and Building (BMWSB) through the “Modellprojekte Smart Cities” programme, implemented through KfW. The programme supports municipalities in testing digital solutions for sustainable urban development.
EnergyCheckUlm emerged from this project as an online guide. Its information and tools aim to help people plan solar PV, electric mobility and heating, with a local focus on Ulm and the surrounding region.
