Description
Auto-translated from German1. Initial Situation The existing district heating network supplies residential buildings via district heating and industrial customers via steam supply. The annual heat quantities amount to approximately 36 GWh of district heating and about 32 GWh of steam. The required peak loads are around 18 MW for district heating and approximately 11 MW for steam supply. Heat generation is currently entirely fossil-based. Against the backdrop of legal requirements for decarbonization, this necessitates an immediate transformation to ensure long-term permissible and economically viable network operation. 2. Regulatory Project Basis The construction of the wood-fired heating plant is essentially driven by regulation. The basis is the Heat Planning Act (WPG), which mandates a share of at least 30% renewable energy by 2030. Further increases are planned for 2040 (to 80%) and 2045 (to 100%). 3. Wood-Fired Heating Plant Project Goal The planned wood-fired heating plant represents the first significant renewable generation unit in the transformation process. A biomass boiler with an output of approximately 6 MW and about 4,000 operating hours per year is planned. The heating plant is primarily intended to cover the base load. By integrating the biomass plant, the share of renewable energy in the district heating network will be significantly increased, making a substantial contribution to meeting the legal requirements by 2030. 4. Funding Structure The project implementation will utilize the Federal Funding for Efficient Heating Networks (BEW), Module 2 (systemic funding). Investment support of up to 40% of eligible costs is being sought. Further information can be found in the project description as an appendix to the tender documents. The contracting authority currently assumes a BImSchG (Federal Immission Control Act) procedure, and corresponding support from all planning participants is required. Total costs are estimated at around EUR 10.5 million, with completion planned by the end of 2029.
