    Heat Planning Act in Context

    The Heat Planning Act (WPG) was passed on 1 January 2024 alongside the amendment. Large cities (>100,000 inhabitants) must submit a heat plan by 30 June 2026, smaller municipalities by 30 June 2028. The heat plan determines which areas will be connected to district heating, where heat pumps make sense and where individual solutions apply.
    Large cities deadline: 2026-06-30 | Smaller municipalities: 2028-06-30 | GEG exceptions end 1 month after heat plan adoption.
