Restrictions on hot water in Neubrandenburg: What you need to consider now!
Neubrandenburg is planning a renovation of the district heating network from July 14th to 23rd, 2025, while mobile heating stations allow restrictions.
Restrictions on hot water in Neubrandenburg: What you need to consider now!
In Neubrandenburg's Oststadt, important renovation work on the district heating network will take place from July 14th until July 23rd. The Neubrandenburger Stadtwerke (neu.sw) is taking a further step towards a climate-neutral heat supply. The program includes extensive work that will involve draining over 600 cubic meters of water from old pipes, which is estimated to take 24 hours. The good news: The drinking water supply remains unaffected throughout the measures.
Despite the mobile heating stations that will provide hot water, temporary restrictions are to be expected during peak times. It is therefore recommended to better plan hot water consumption during the affected period if necessary. The renovation work deliberately takes place during the heat-free summer period in order to keep the disruption to the population as low as possible, as nordkurier.de reports.
A look into the future of heat supply
The upcoming work is part of the city of Neubrandenburg's far-reaching plans 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 an excellent rate compared to 14 percent 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 heat networks, but also develops a comprehensive system for decarbonization. In the coming months, different technologies such as deep geothermal energy, large heat pumps and biomass will be examined and integrated into an overall energy system, which means that Neubrandenburg will not only take a step towards sustainability, but also demonstrate a good hand for the future, as icm.de explains.
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 in demand, especially for those buildings that cannot be connected to the district heating network. The heat transition is of central importance for achieving Germany's climate goals, because heat supply accounts for over 50 percent of final energy consumption and is heavily dependent on fossil fuels.
The implementation of the large earth basin storage facility on around two hectares, which is intended to store excess summer heat, will be particularly exciting. Large-scale solar systems are also planned, which, together with an innovative interplay of various technologies, will help to sustainably cover heat needs. The Neubrandenburger Stadtwerke is not only laying the foundation for a greener future, but also showing how technical innovation and environmental awareness can go hand in hand.
