Siemens Brings German Town’s Energy Transition Story To Life in a Documentary
‘The Power Reset’ now available on Amazon Prime Video in 3 countries
“The Power Reset: A Town Creating the Energy Blueprint for the World,” a new documentary film produced by Siemens, launched on Amazon Prime Video in the U.S., U.K., and Germany. The film narrates the story of Wunsiedel, a small town in the German region of Bavaria, and its inspiring energy transition journey. The town of around 10,000 people has successfully created a distributed energy system based exclusively on renewable sources and enhanced with digital technology, making it a lighthouse project for a sustainable energy future.
Once a quiet town where traditional industries struggled to keep up with a fast-changing world, Wunsiedel changed course by developing a thriving power sector that relied on solar, wind, and biomass, supported with a battery storage system. The industry has not only reduced carbon emissions but has also become a profitable business that generated jobs for its local population and improved their quality of life. Now, the town is taking power production capabilities to the next level by building one of the largest green hydrogen plants in Germany.
