The municipality of Konz successfully completed its municipal heat planning in October 2025. This planning is an important step towards implementing the energy transition and reducing CO₂ emissions in the region. It was carried out in accordance with the legal requirements of the Rhineland-Palatinate Climate Protection Act and the federal funding for energy efficiency in the heat transition.
The planning results form the basis for future funding measures and investments in the region's heating infrastructure, ensuring a climate-friendly and sustainable heat supply. The municipality of Konz is thus well-positioned to make a significant contribution to climate protection at the local level.
Interested citizens and companies can find further information and details on the implementation of the measures in the following final report:
Important: The municipal heat planning is not binding and does not constitute a legally enforceable right for individual citizens to the implementation of the projects presented. This means that the areas mentioned therein that are suitable for heating networks, for example, are potential areas - but that does not necessarily mean that they will actually be realized there.
Municipal heat planning cannot replace individual energy consulting. Even if you don't need to replace your heating system yet, you can significantly reduce heating costs and CO2 emissions through insulation and window replacement. The Rhineland-Palatinate Consumer Center offers consultations on individual options. General information can be found here: www.energieberatung-rlp.de and www.verbraucherzentrale-rlp.de/wp-angebote .
