Heat turn in Potsdam: Experts are calling for investments for climate -friendly residential projects

progress in the heat transition in Potsdam

In Potsdam, sustainable heat supply is the focus of the local housing construction. The cooperation between EWP (Energie- und Wasser-Potsdam GmbH) and Propotsdam illuminates an important step towards a climate-friendly city. During a recent visit by Axel Gedaschko, President of the GDW Federal Association of the Housing Economy, and Maren Kern, director of the BBU Verband Verband Verband Verband Housing Company e.V.

During the tour, Christiane Preuß and Eckard Veil from the EWP as well as Bert Nicke from Propotsdam and Gregor Heilmann von Gewoba led the guests through the impressive operating facility. The inspection illustrated the progress and the challenges that must be mastered when switching to renewable heat sources.

the need for sustainable heat supply

The talks showed that heat must be produced in the future without fossil fuels. This is not just a legal requirement, but also crucial for the growth and development of the city. The statements of those responsible confirm: "The fulfillment of the statutory climate protection standards is essential for the housing companies in Potsdam in order to be able to raise funding." The success of urban development is therefore directly related to compliance with these standards.

financing of climate protection measures

A central topic of discussion was the financial support that is required for the heat transition. Axel Gedaschko and Maren Kern emphasized that housing companies have to make disproportionately higher investments in climate protection measures compared to supply companies in order to achieve similar savings in carbon dioxide emissions. This requires both a quick conversion of heat generation and suitable investments in the housing stock.

outlook on a climate -friendly future

The partnership between the supply company and the housing industry in Potsdam is considered exemplary. The planned projects are a step in the right direction to reach the climate goals and make the city sustainable. The commitment of those involved is of crucial importance to create a climate silica and sustainable community.
