1. Network for municipal heat planning and heating technologies Thuringia Mastering the challenge of municipal heat planning together!
Municipal heat planning offers many opportunities to shape the heat supply of the future in a way that is close to the people and thus strengthens confidence in municipal work. However, it also poses challenges, especially for smaller municipalities. “What does it all cost?”, ‘What subsidies and assistance are available?’, ‘How are we supposed to manage this as a smaller municipality?’, ‘What happens after the municipal heating plan has been drawn up?’ are probably some of the questions you are asking yourself. Networks help to answer these questions through the exchange of experience and input from experts and to master municipal heat planning and its implementation.
On July 15, we founded the 1st network for municipal heat planning and heating technologies in Thuringia. We are delighted to have the Thuringian Renewable Energy Network (ThEEN) e.V. as a founding partner. The 1st network meeting is expected to take place on 28.8.25 in Erfurt. If you are interested in joining the network, please contact us or register directly via the button.
The advantages of the network
Municipal heat planning offers many opportunities to shape the heat supply of the future in a way that is close to the people and thus strengthens confidence in municipal work. However, it also poses challenges, especially for smaller municipalities. “What does it all cost?”, “What subsidies and assistance are available?”, “How are we supposed to manage this as a smaller municipality?”, “What happens after the municipal heating plan has been drawn up?” are probably some of the questions you are asking yourself. Networks help to answer these questions through the exchange of experience and input from experts and to master municipal heat planning and its implementation.
How?
Networks for municipalities, cities and energy suppliers promote exchange between the participating municipalities as well as with the initiators and experts. In this way, common challenges can be identified and, for example, other network participants can benefit from heat planning projects that have already been implemented.
What are the benefits?
You will of course be informed about the basics of municipal heat planning and the necessary steps. The regular meetings (3-4 meetings per year) form the core of the network. In addition to the general exchange of experience, these meetings will also provide input from experts and practical examples will be presented.
For how long?
A network usually runs for 3 years after it is set up and can then be extended at the request of the participants. The networks thus not only help with the implementation of municipal heat planning, but also continue to support the municipalities in the realization of subsequent transformation projects.
