GEG has already been approved in Germany, but is now just getting started. The new law stipulates that Municipalities their heat supply (in a probably long-term process) must be recorded and plannedbefore GEG requirements come into effect. This might be “funny”. If thousands of citizens now, e.g. For example, you suddenly want to know from your mayor when and if a district heating pipe can run in front of your house and ask for an answer as quickly as possible.
“In principle, it makes sense for municipalities to have an overview of their heat supply options. However, with an average age of over 17 years, the urgently needed modernization dynamics should not be reduced because at some point it may be possible to connect to a heating network”, he states. Markus Staudt.
What is still not 100% clear is are the future financing conditions. These must be reliable and adequately equipped and include all technological solutions made possible by GEG.
Furthermore the BDH requires that efficiency technologies such as energy-efficient heat and circulation pumps, living room ventilation with heat recovery and decentralized heat and power combining be taken into consideration in the GEG as soon as possible.
