Electricity/Power in dreams

W walto Public Seen by 61

Hi folks,

I noticed that some Kieze are trying to put in dream applications for their power. Although this does not go directly against the best practice detailed as "Dreams should follow the principle of self-reliance by not supporting basic personal or camp needs." in https://talk.kiezburn.org/d/IfeZXG9a/manual-for-dreamers-read-this-if-you-want-to-submit-a-dream We cannot afford to let power expenditures run through the dreams platform. Power is too expensive for this + if it serves the camp goals, then it should be funded by the Kiez itself.

Therefore, I have added this power guideline into the dream guidelines:
Power Art grants cannot cover the cost of power for the Kiez. Power that is used by the Kiez needs to be paid by the Kiez and cannot be channeled through the dreams platform. Dreams do can qualify for power, but this should be closely reviewed and should not exceed reasonable amounts. As a point of orientation: every 1KW, costs kiez burn around 75€. So a water boiler, would cost Kiez Burn around 225€.

Feel free to discuss this point here further.

Hi Sven, many thanks for the update. I will wait patiently then :). Fingers crossed! If you can give us a max amount, that would be helpful already as well, then we, worst case, adjust the dream. Or worst case have to turn the water screen into some other projection surface....albeit that would be a pity of course, as its the water screen that makes it extra special ;). Thanks!

@svendudink any update? Maybe we can find a solution together? OR is it a case-by-case kinda thing?
