Tailor-made solutions for efficient networks
Get in touch with DMT heating experts and start planning your project!The heating transition is a key component of the energy and raw materials transition. Under the Heating Planning Act (WPG), local authorities and municipal utilities are tasked with developing a sustainable, secure and cost-effective heating supply for the future.
However, heat planning is only the first step. The real success of the heating transition will be determined by its implementation. Strategic concepts must be turned into robust projects that combine technical feasibility, security of supply, economic viability and climate protection.
DMT supports local authorities, municipal utilities and infrastructure operators throughout the entire transformation process – from local heating planning and technical assessments to the decarbonisation of heating networks and the implementation of complex heating and infrastructure projects.
The BEW grant scheme subsidises investment in climate-friendly heating infrastructure. To apply for it, you, as a utility provider, must submit a feasibility study on the establishment of new heating networks. Alternatively, you can draw up a transformation plan for existing heating networks, setting out the phased transition of the heating supply.

All local authorities in Germany. The deadlines vary depending on size:
Many smaller municipalities delegate these tasks to municipal utilities, inter-municipal partnerships or external service providers.
Depending on the scale and the data available, 12–18 months. This includes data collection, analysis, scenario planning, public engagement and policy decisions.
Municipal utilities often handle:
There are currently no direct grants available for drawing up a heating plan.
However, there are numerous funding schemes for its implementation:
The costs depend on:
On request, we will provide a transparent quotation with a clear estimate of the costs involved.
As decarbonisation progresses, the demands placed on local heating supply systems are increasing. Cities, local authorities and utility companies need sustainable solutions that meet regulatory requirements whilst ensuring long-term value creation.
