Tenders Are Invited For Benchmarking In District Heating Supply Etc. On Price Control And Price Transparency As Well As The Comparability Of District Heating Suppliers From Technical And Business Aspects

District Heating Supply Is An Essential Component Of The Energy And Heat Transition, Especially With Regard To The Decarbonization Of Heat Supply. This Requires The Acceptance Of District Heating Supply By Citizens. However, Pricing And Its Lack Of Transparency Is Currently The Biggest Criticism Of District Heating Supply. Critical Voices See Deficits And A Limited Effect Of The Current Price Controls. These Are Ineffective And Unsystematic; Price Supervision Must Be More Effective And Have A Regulatory Effect. However, Such More Effective Antitrust Price Control Requires, Among Other Things, Current Data And Information About The Individual District Heating Networks. It Is Therefore Planned To Establish An Annual Benchmark Process For District Heating Prices.
