Restrictions on hot water in Neubrandenburg: What needs to be considered now!

Restrictions on hot water in Neubrandenburg: What needs to be considered now!

In the Neubrandenburg Oststadt, there will be important renovation work on the district heating network from July 14th until July 23. The Neubrandenburg Stadtwerke (Neu.sw) take another step towards a climate -neutral heat supply. The program includes extensive work in which over 600 cubic meters of water must be drained from old lines, which takes an estimated 24 hours. The good news: the drinking water supply remains unaffected during the entire measures.

Despite the mobile heating stations that will provide warm water, temporary restrictions can be expected at peak times. It is therefore recommended to better plan hot water consumption in the affected period. The renovation work is deliberately falling into the heating-free summer time in order to keep the impairment for the population as low as possible, such as nordkurier.de reports.

A look into the future of heat supply

The upcoming work is part of the far -reaching plans of the city of Neubrandenburg for climate -neutral heat supply. The numerous measures aim to achieve climate neutrality by 2045 and are based on a solid foundation. Around 80 percent of Neubrandenburg households are already connected to the district heating network, which is 14 percent compared to nationwide. The transformation plan includes investment costs of around 160 million euros.

The municipal heat planning concept not only aims to adapt to the federal program for efficient heating networks, but also develop a comprehensive system for decarbonization. In the coming months, different technologies such as deep geothermal energy, large-scale heat pumps and biomass are to be investigated and integrated into an entire energy system, which not only takes a step towards sustainability, but also proves a good knack for the future, as [icm.de] (https://www.icm.de/referenzen/kommunal-waermeplanung-- newbrandenburg/) explained.

The challenges of the heat transition

Mayor Peter Modemann (CDU) emphasizes that a comprehensive expansion of district heating is not possible for all buildings. Individual solutions are required, especially for those buildings that cannot be connected to the district heating network. The heat transition is of central importance for the achievement of the German climate goals, because the heat supply accounts for over 50 percent of the final energy consumption and is heavily dependent on fossil fuels.

The implementation of the large straw pelvic storage is particularly exciting to save excess summer heat on about two hectares. Large -scale solar systems, together with an innovative interaction from various techniques, are also planned to meet the heat requirements sustainably. The Neubrandenburg Stadtwerke not only lay a foundation for a greener future, but also show how technical innovation and environmental awareness can go hand in hand.
