Neubrandenburgers have to do without hot water in July!

Neubrandenburg, Deutschland - The Stadtwerke Neubrandenburg (Neu.sw) invest several million euros in improving the city's district heating supply. A crucial hub in the lines is currently being renewed, which will have significant effects on the approximately 13,000 residents of the Oststadt. From July 14th to July 23, there will be temporary interruptions in hot water supply caused by the integration of new lines into the existing system, the Nordkurier .

In the past few weeks, about 300 meters of new pipes have been laid, including a "district heating crossing", which leads under the Pasewalk railway track. In order to put the new pipes into operation, hundreds of cubic meters of water have to be drained from the old lines and filled into the new routes. This work is part of a long -term renovation plan that began in 2020 and should be completed by 2029.

emergency care and infrastructure

During the planned interruptions, mobile heating stations are available to supply the households dependent on the district heating. The new, insulated steel tubes, with a diameter of 50 centimeters, are laid completely underground and should make the district heating supply more efficiently.

renewable energies and future heat supply

In addition, solar thermal systems should cover around 20 percent of the heat requirement. The municipal utilities have acquired areas near the heating power plant to promote these developments. A large air and large heat pump and a power-to-heat system also compete for the provision of heat for times with high demand. Further innovative concepts, such as a pelvis, are planned to store excess warmth for winter.

Sustainable heat supply will in future be a central topic in municipal energy planning. From January 1, 2024, the "Law for Heat Planning and for Decarbonization of the Heating Nettings" comes into force, which prescribes a clear timetable for the use of renewable energies and to reduce CO2 emissions. The municipal heat planning will be crucial for how various heat sources are used locally in order to make heat-neutral heat neutral, so the Energynet
