Heat turn in Teltow: New model project for Ruhlsdorf started!

Ruhlsdorf, Deutschland - In Teltow, an innovative model project for heat supply is started in rural areas. In the district of Ruhlsdorf, which counts around 1,700 inhabitants, it is to be checked how urban buildings can cover efficient heat requirements without connection to the district heating network. There are important facilities such as the primary school, the sports hall, the fire brigade, a daycare center and a block of flats. The Teltow climate protection manager Matthias Putzke launched the Initiative and sees this pilot project the opportunity to create a model for other municipalities. According to Maz-online.de The order for common heat planning with the neighboring municipalities of Stahnsdorf and Kleinmachnow in March of this year.

Financially, the project is supported with 14,280 euros, of which 4,500 euros come from the climate support budget of the district of Potsdam-Mittelmark. This budget comprises a total of 150,000 euros for up to 20 such projects. The aim is to minimize the costs and heat losses through district heating lines and at the same time to promote future heat supply through environmentally friendly energy sources. In this context, the desired heat turnaround is particularly remarkable because it strives to produce 65% of the heat from sustainable sources, so HSS-Opus.UB.Ruhr-uni-bochum.de .

A look into the future of heat supply

The latest heat planning will not only strengthen the urban infrastructure in Teltow, but will also improve the position of the city compared to the Gas supplier Energie Mark Brandenburg (EMB). Mayor Thomas Schmidt emphasizes the importance of being prepared for possible failures of the heating, which in times of growing uncertainties in the energy supply is essential. According to a Energy Zukunzunfunfieben-Analysis

These heating networks offer several advantages: they promote the added value on site, ensure more stable heat supply and increase the nature of the location for commercial and industry. The exchange between municipal municipal utilities and private suppliers is considered helpful to ensure efficient heat supply. In addition, the possibility is considered to install solar modules on urban land - another step towards a more sustainable energy future.

The challenges of the heat transition are clear and the project in Teltow could serve as a pioneer for many other municipalities. It remains to be seen whether the desired heat supply for the city buildings in Ruhlsdorf in Ruhlsdorf is successfully implemented regardless of the existing district heating network. However, it is certain that local initiatives such as these building blocks represent a larger strategy for climate neutrality.
