Zolling, 27 November 2024 – The winning projects of the Zolling 2024 Power Plant Citizens’ Fund were honoured at a ceremony today. A total of 14 associations and social organisations from the region can look forward to individual grants of between 500 and 3,960 euros. Kraftwerk Zolling provided a total budget of 20,000 euros for the Citizens’ Fund 2024. An independent jury decided on the allocation of the funds after the application deadline.

Especially in these times, it is of great importance that we stand up for our community and find solutions together to overcome challenges. The award-winning projects are an inspiring example of how much positive work can be achieved through collaboration and creativity, and it is a great pleasure for us at Onyx Power to support this work.’

An independent jury consisting of Helmut Priller, Mayor of the municipality of Zolling, Michael Schmatolla, Head of the Office for Youth and Family at the Freising District Office, Gottfried Herrmann, Head of the 3klang gGmbH music school in Freising and Anja Aigner, local councillor for Haag a. d.
