District heating

District heat is generated in a central plant – for example, a waste incineration plant, sewage treatment plant or a combined heat and power plant – and is supplied to customers via a pipeline network to produce heating or hot water. For this purpose, a transfer station is installed in the house.

Advantages:

- No fossil fuels (depending on the heat source!)

- Low investment costs

Disadvantages:

- Often high operating costs
