To be in accordance with the REPowerEU Plan and the 2050 decarbonisation goals, city planners must accelerate their action in strategic heating and cooling (H&C) planning and decision-making in order to provide more affordable, secure, and sustainable energy to their communities. In order to accelerate this energy transition, a European-wide ‘Support Facility’ is available to all local energy planners.
As not all municipalities are equally prepared for the transition, the Act!onHeat Support Facility provides energy planners the know-how, resources, and experience. The Facility’s tools and assistance then helps facilitate municipalities to start, complete, or improve upon their district H&C planning. Specifically, applicants will gain exclusive access and insight to the H&C planning software Hotmaps and THERMOS, which can be used for their local energy transition.
Additionally, to meet the specific needs of the locality, applicants are able to select between different Support Facility modules to participate in: 'H&C transition strategy development', 'Project Feasibility', and ‘Financial Studies’. Interested in how the Support Facility can benefit your network or local community?
