Cross-municipal cooperation in climate protection

bifa prepares an inter-municipal energy utilisation plan including a municipal heat plan

How can we jointly promote climate protection? These questions were posed by 17 municipalities in the Lech-Wertach region: Amberg, Bobingen, Graben, Großaitingen, Hiltenfingen, Hurlach, Igling, Kleinaitingen, Klosterlechfeld, Königsbrunn, Lamerdingen, Langerringen, Obermeitingen, Oberottmarshausen, Schwabmünchen, Untermeitingen and Wehringen.

bifa was commissioned with the creation of an inter-municipal energy utilisation plan, which was expanded to include municipal heat planning. The study provides information about the current energy situation and future demand. The potential of renewable energy supply is shown and priority areas for a grid-connected heat supply are identified. A transformation path to climate neutrality, from which customised climate protection measures can be derived, is proposed. Key players in the energy transition have been involved in municipal heating planning. In addition, the possibilities of a green waste network, heating network options, and an approach to deep geothermal energy were developed as priorities that offer important potential for a comprehensive renewable heating supply during the period under review.
