District Heating in Germany

Investment - Expansion - Modernisation
The district heating sector in Germany is investing in further expansion and modernisation through engaged cities and Stadtwerke supplemented by earmarked funds from both federal and regional levels. The district heating has found its place as an energy efficient heat source supporting Germany's target of climate neutrality by 2050.

Today, the company is transforming towards more efficiency and more renewable energy sources for heating and therefore plays a role in Sachsen’s and Germany’s heating transition - “Wärmewende”.

Denmark is Engaged
Denmark is well connected to the sector through long-standing collaboration at industry level accompanied by dialogue between energy authorities to strengthen the expansion of district heating in Germany. The Trade Council, DI Energy, DBDH and the Danish Energy Agency collaborate to build on the business potential within district heating in Germany, enabling Danish industry to engage further.
