vedec – Verband für Energiedienstleistungen, Effizienz und Contracting e.V.
An operating system connects different components, creates stable interfaces, reduces complexity, and remains adaptable. These are precisely the qualities the heat transition needs — and this is exactly where contracting shows its strength.
In his presentation, Tobias Dworschak, Chairman of the Board of vedec e.V., explains why contracting is far more than a financing or operating model. It brings together technology, financing, planning, operation, efficiency, regulation, climate protection, and user interests into one reliable overall system. In doing so, contracting takes responsibility for a heat supply that is not only planned, but implemented for the long term. This is how contracting becomes the operating system of the heat transition.
The presentation focuses on the current political and regulatory framework: Which legislative changes are shaping the heat transition? What role do municipal heat planning, heat supply law, tenancy law, funding instruments, and investment security play? Where do frictions arise between political objectives and practical implementation? And what conditions does contracting need in order to make even better use of its strength as a reliable implementation model in the future?
The operating system metaphor serves as a guiding principle for looking ahead: Where are the interfaces already working? Where does the system need an update? And what framework conditions are required to ensure that the heat transition in buildings, districts, companies, and municipalities succeeds in the long term — in a stable, efficient, and practical way?
