Dear readers,
In this newsletter we would like to inform you about the ongoing project activities within the RES-DHC model regions, but also beyond that about relevant topics regarding renewables in district heating and cooling systems. RES-DHC is getting into action! At the beginning of 2022, the developed action plans were put into practice and each RES-DHC model region started with its measures for the transformation and decarbonisation of DHC based on the regional structures. Furthermore, we would like to share our online toolbox with you: The free tools are useful instruments to support decarbonisation processes at different levels.
Enjoy reading!

The town of Voreppe in France successfully integrates solar thermal energy into its heating network
Within the framework of Sol’AURA project, the town of Voreppe (France) integrated solar thermal energy into its second heating network. After many years of preparation and planning, Voreppe finally realised the solar thermal plant in 2020. Thereby, 12 tonnes of greenhouse gases per year can be avoided. Read more...

Support joint marketing efforts for solar district heating
At a workshop set to take place on 4 and 5 April in Graz, Austria, the IEA Solar Heating and Cooling Programme will launch a new research platform about Efficient Solar District Heating Systems, also called Task 68. This three-year programme will focus on medium-high temperature feed-in and digitalisation.

Lessons learned from three years promoting SDH in the Western Balkans
The interest in solar district heating has increased significantly in Serbia since the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) started to finance prefeasibility studies for SDH plants in January 2019. Furthermore, Serbia adopted a Renewable Energy Law in April 2021 which includes an ambitious mechanism to support the implementation of renewable heating and cooling capacity.

Spain: Solar district heating on the starting blocks
The Spanish solar district heating market is still in its infancy. Among the 500 DH systems in operation across the country totalling more than 1.6 GW only seven use solar heat, according to the Association of District Heating and Cooling Companies (ADHAC). The new Energy and Efficiency Building Rehabilitation Programme (PREE) aims to change this.
