It is a little larger than a soccer field. As the park’s centerpiece, the All Electric Society Pavilion shows what the All Electric Society means at Phoenix Contact and how sector coupling helps optimize the flow of renewable energy.
Welcome to the All Electric Society Park
Tomorrow’s sustainable world, today’s technologies.
Experience, discover, and explore the future:
How reliable are renewable energy sources? Where do we get energy from when the sun is not shining and the wind is not blowing? Why are there different ways to charge an electric car? And how does the green electricity actually get into the car, a building, or production?
Our All Electric Society answers these and other exciting questions: Experience live with us in Blomberg how energy is generated, stored, and distributed and how energy consumption is optimized – and how all these areas relate to each other.

The All Electric Society Park at a glance
The All Electric Society Park is designed to enable you to develop your solution yourself. There are a host of different information sources available for this.
You will find the following on the monitors in the glass cubes and in the pavilion:
- Overview of the All Electric Society Park with all energy and data flows and information windows in “PARK” view
- Explanatory videos to match the topic of the cube in “CUBE” view
- In-depth technical information provided in “EXPERTS” view
The monitors are touch-activated, so you can choose yourself what you want to see. Interactions are integrated in the glass cubes to match the relevant topic. You can use these fun elements to experiment and see for yourself what the technology does in the All Electric Society.
There are QR codes on the different objects everywhere in the park. You can scan them with your smart phone to get more information about the object.
The best place to start is to visit the All Electric Society Pavilion. You can then choose which stations to visit next.
What is the All Electric Society?
In the All Electric Society, only renewably-generated electrical energy is used. However, these sustainable actions do not automatically mean doing without. Instead, it is a matter of using existing resources optimally and making them available equally to everyone in the world.
This is made possible by sector coupling: the linking of all relevant areas of life and work – mobility, energy, infrastructure, and industry – to form one system. In this system, the energy is distributed automatically in accordance with demand. This ensures that it is always available where it is needed.
A great idea for the future, in a compact size
It is the nacelle that ensures that a wind turbine generator can be operated at lofty heights. This sensitive area is usually only accessible to specialists, but in our park you not only have the opportunity to take a close look at the powerhouse, but also go inside it.
Interactive glass cubes around the site make experiencing the All Electric Society topics a fun adventure. All cubes are intelligently networked with each other. This means that you can always tell how much energy is available and where it is needed.
Around 550 solar panels in the All Electric Society Park ensure that it can be fully supplied with renewable energy. In addition to roof panels and solar panels integrated into windows, there are 26 m² of walkable solar paving integrated in the paths.
Connect everything together in the All Electric Society Park. Here, electricity flows through cables that have a total length of 7 km. The other 12 km of cables are needed for data connections.
