Energy Supply (electricity, gas, district heating)
Transformation plan for district heating Bonn
© Stadtwerke Bonn / Martin MaguniaEnergie- und Wasserversorgung Bonn/Rhein-Sieg GmbH (BEW), together with PwC Germany and RBS wave, has successfully implemented the transformation plan as part of the first module of the federal government's support for efficient heating networks. The company thus fulfils the requirements of the Heat Planning Act.
Based on the current situation with around 200 km of pipelines and a heat demand of 485 GWh/a, the transformation plan shows how an increasing number of customers in the urban area can be supplied with renewable district heating as early as the 2030s. The aim is a targeted and strategic decarbonisation of the district heating supply, as well as the expansion and densification of several urban districts. A hydraulic analysis of the heating network by our project partner completes the results and ensures feasibility.
Special attention is given to the integration of renewable energy sources such as river and wastewater heat and waste heat. Technical and economic simulations were used to examine the construction and conversion of the generation plants in detail, and the results were translated into an implementation concept with packages of measures.
Together with PwC Germany, the long-term effects on the profitability of district heating were analysed.
