Miesbach's heating center: trouble about costs and climate future
decision on local heating project in Miesbach is imminent
The city of Miesbach is faced with an important decision regarding the future energy concept and the possible integration of a local heating network for several urban properties. The considerations raise numerous questions about ecological footprint and financial portability.
climate protection versus economy
The planned connection to the Miesbach III local heating network affects central facilities such as the town hall, the library and social institutions such as the homeless shelter and the Montessori kindergarten. Mayor Gerhard Braunmiller (CSU) emphasized the need to keep an eye on the profitability of the project. "We had a further need for coordination," he said, referring to the complexity of the contract content, which made a quick decision.
insights into the upcoming city council meeting
On August 29, the city council will decide to the local heating network in a non -public meeting on the connection of the urban properties. In addition to this trend -setting decision, topics such as the shareholder contract with MW Biomasse AG and the heritage law contract on the heating center are also discussed.
The role of the Oberland (EWO)
The city of Miesbach alone is involved in this project, while the energy transition Oberland, a co -titter and operator of the energy management in the region, was not consulted. Energy manager Andreas Scharli expressed concerns. "You can only compare regenerative energy with regenerative energy," he emphasized and criticized the decision -making processes.
risks and uncertainties in the gas solutions
The city's financial strategy could turn out to be risky. There is a risk that gas solutions will become very expensive in the long run, especially due to increasing CO2 taxes. So far, no sustainable solution has been implemented in the discussion about the heat supply of other urban institutions. For the time being, the building yard remains with the gas.
a alternating picture of regenerative energies
Although the city of Miesbach advertised in the past for the use of regenerative energies, the current mood is skeptical. The success of local heating networks depends crucially on the economy, as Braunmiller emphasized at the beginning. "It fits the type of building? That has to be clarified," he said, with the cause mainly in the costs.
forecasts for the construction of the local heating network
It is planned that the construction of the local heating network will begin in 2026 west of Schlierach. Further expansion stages are to follow the following year. The decision as to whether the city is participating in the local heating network or pursuing alternative solutions will be crucial for future energy supply in Miesbach.conclusion: waiting for the decision
The upcoming city council meeting on August 29 could set the course for the energetic future of Miesbach. While the city administration took over model functions in the past, it is now faced with the challenge of finding the right balance between ecological goals and financial realities.
