At the end of November, the ADerN (“Expansion and Digitization of Efficient Renewable Local Heating Networks”) project’s operators’ regulars’ table attracted around 20 participants to Nordhalben. The aim of the ADerN project at the Institute for Water and Energy Management (iwe) at Hof University of Applied Sciences is to network players in the Bavarian local heating sector and thus strengthen the local heating sector in the Free State.
The program of the event started with a tour of the heating house of Bioenergie Nordhalben eG.
The energy supply company has existed for over 100 years and supplies the community of Nordhalben and the district of Heinersberg (excluding the district of Grund) with electricity generated 100% from hydropower.
For the subsequent impulse presentations on topics such as BEW funding opportunities for existing networks or technology and law surrounding the new district heating ordinance, the participants, including municipalities, farmers and citizens’ energy cooperatives, then returned to Gasthaus Wagner in Nordhalben.
Further information on the ADerN project, upcoming dates and contact persons can be found on the website of the Institute for Water and Energy Management at https://iwe.hof-university.de/
