German municipalities complete municipal heat planning
Several German municipalities have finalized their municipal heat planning (kWP) to establish frameworks for climate-friendly and affordable local heat supplies.
In Hagen, North Rhine-Westphalia, the city council approved a heat plan that highlights a significant reliance on industrial energy. Industry accounts for 49 percent of the city's heat consumption and serves as its largest source of waste heat. As of 2022, Hagen's total annual heat energy consumption was 2,872.82 gigawatt hours, with 81.6 percent sourced from natural gas and only 2.3 percent from district heating.
Additionally, the municipalities of Emtmannsberg and Kirchenpingarten have completed their respective heat planning processes. These plans aim to provide transparent development paths and decision-making bases for future heat supply, with results made available to the public via digital platforms.
