The Collective Heat Act will fundamentally change the way heat networks are organised. What does this mean in practice for area development?
In this session, we take a deeper dive into the legal framework and the practical implications. We discuss the core of the Act, the new allocation of roles and the governance of collective heat systems. For developers and municipalities, this brings new roles, structures and risks.
Heat is therefore no longer purely a technical choice, but a strategic factor within area development. Successful delivery requires the early integration of energy into plans and intensive collaboration between developers, municipalities and energy infrastructure parties.
What changes, where are the opportunities and how do you, as a stakeholder, respond effectively? In this session, you will gain the insights you need to be prepared for the new reality.
