First citizens' forum held successfully
On October 2, 2025, the first public forum on municipal heat planning (KWP) took place at the Hechtsheim community center. 100 participants took the opportunity to learn about heat planning and the heat transition in Mainz and to talk directly with experts.
Insights into the inventory and potential analysis
The evening focused on the initial results of municipal heat planning based on an analysis of the current situation and potential. These show how heating is currently provided in Mainz and what opportunities there are for the heat transition. Citizens were particularly interested in the potential of renovations and the goals of expanding district heating.
Exchange for CHP, building renovations and heating technologies
Participants were then able to talk to experts at various themed islands. The following topics were presented:
• CHP as a way to climate-friendly heat supply in Mainz•
Key findings of the inventory and
potential analysis• Information and advice on building
renovations• District heating supply in Mainz•
Heating solutions for neighborhoods using the example of local heating networks
