Earth Hour 2026: Bergisch Gladbach Encourages Residents to "Switch Off for the Planet"

On Saturday, March 28, 2026, from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. local time, the world will once again observe Earth Hour, the global movement calling for climate and environmental action. This year's campaign slogan—"We're switching it off!"—underscores the urgent need to keep sustainability at the forefront of public consciousness.

Since its launch in 2007, Earth Hour has grown into a mass participation event, with millions of individuals, businesses, and cities turning off their lights each year. Beyond private households, iconic landmarks—from the Eiffel Tower in Paris and Berlin's Brandenburg Gate to Rome's Colosseum—will plunge into darkness in a symbolic gesture. The city of Bergisch Gladbach is inviting residents to join the initiative by switching off non-essential lights for one hour.

Free Energy Consultations: Book Now for March 2026 In conjunction with Earth Hour, the city is highlighting its free energy advisory services, which have seen strong demand in recent years. In collaboration with the Rheinisch-Bergisch district, the Bergisches Energie- und Ressourcenzentrum (BERZ) energy advisor network at :metabolon, and certified efficiency experts, Bergisch Gladbach is once again offering personalized consultations on energy savings. Appointments for March 2026 onward can now be booked via the Rheinisch-Bergisch district's website.

Consultations will be available at three key locations: - Historic Town Hall (Konrad-Adenauer-Platz) - Technical Town Hall in Bensberg (Wilhelm-Wagener-Platz) - District Administration Office (Kreishaus)

The service is open to both tenants and homeowners seeking advice on cost-saving measures, efficient heating systems, insulation, funding opportunities, and more.

High Demand—Early Registration Recommended"In past years, slots filled up quickly," notes Jaqueline Hemmers of the Municipal Heat Planning, Climate Protection, and Climate Adaptation Unit. "It's encouraging to see so many people embrace practical, hands-on support to cut energy use at home."Ragnar Migenda, the city's First Deputy Mayor, adds: "This straightforward, bureaucracy-free offering helps residents reduce their energy bills sustainably while actively contributing to climate protection."

Neutral, Tailored, and Cost-Free Each 30- to 45-minute session is conducted by certified energy efficiency experts, ensuring independent, manufacturer-neutral, and non-binding advice. The service is ideal for those at the early stages of planning energy upgrades who need an initial assessment.

Key Consultation Topics Include: - Energy evaluations for individual retrofit projects and efficient home concepts - Guidance on heating system upgrades (excluding technical specifications) - Advice on solar thermal and photovoltaic systems (excluding system design) - Ventilation strategies (excluding detailed planning)
