Many local authorities and towns have laid an important foundation through their local heating plans: the supply area has been defined and the heating plan is in place. The key question now is: how can this be turned into an economically viable, legally sound and technically robust project that can actually be implemented?
In this specialist presentation, AVAT and RheinEnergie demonstrate how local authorities – particularly small and medium-sized ones – can be provided with comprehensive support on the journey from planning to implementation. The focus is on the interplay between local authority interests, technical solutions, economic viability, funding opportunities, financing, and suitable operator and partnership models.
Using a practical example, the presentation illustrates how a heat planning process evolves into a viable supply concept: from the assessment of suitable generation and supply solutions, through funding applications and simulations, to system integration and operation. It demonstrates how partnership-based solutions, based on mutual respect, help to reconcile technical, commercial and legal requirements.
Finally, the presentation demonstrates how smart heating systems, digital connectivity and flexibility options – such as heat and battery storage – provide long-term support for efficient, secure and cost-effective operation.
