Legal obstacles hamper the heating transition in the neighborhood

Today, IKEM published a legal paper on sector-coupled heat supply in neighborhoods, which was developed as part of the HybridBOT_FW project. The study shows that although the existing legal framework opens up initial positive approaches for innovative district solutions, there is still a need for reform in order to enable a comprehensive decentralized energy transition.

Legal certainty needed for customer installations

Customer installations, such as an energy supply system in an apartment building, can provide end users with a local energy supply outside of the regulated grid. The operation of such systems receives privileged treatment under energy law, which is why the solution is economically appealing, for example to supply energy to a neighbourhood. However, an […]
