Oberhausen district to transition 370 apartments to district heating

The Marienviertel district in Oberhausen, Germany, is undergoing a coordinated transition from gas-based heating to the city's central district heating network. The project involves 46 buildings containing a total of 370 residential units.

In a collaboration between Energieversorgung Oberhausen (evo), the Oberhausen network company, and real estate firm Covivio, the modernization will replace existing gas boilers, individual gas heating systems, and gas water heaters. The connection will be implemented through 29 building connections.

The project expects an annual heat sales volume of approximately 1,947 MWh. The district heating system is projected to maintain a primary energy factor of 0.23 through the end of 2033, a metric used in the real estate industry to evaluate energy efficiency and regulatory compliance.
