Memmingen on the way to climate -neutral heat supply: citizens informed!

Around 140 citizens from Memmingen came up with the Maximilian-Kolbe-Haus on July 1st to find out more about the newly launched municipal heat planning (KWP). The event was an important building block in the project for future heat supply. In the dialogue, the first results of the inventory and potential analyzes as well as possible supply options were discussed. Topics such as energetic renovation, the expansion of heating networks and the use of renewable energies were the focus.

Mayor Jan Rothenbacher underlined the strategic relevance of the KWP for a safe, affordable and climate -friendly energy supply. Stadtwerke Memmingen also emphasized the need for joint action and that each individual can make a contribution. Carolin Huber from the climate protection management of the city of Memmingen found that strong participation in the event was a clear sign of the need for information in the citizenship.

strategic course for the future

The city of Memmingen has set itself ambitious goals: by 2040 at the latest, climate -neutral heat supply for the entire city area is to be realized. The KWP serves as a strategic basis and orientation for building owners. A control body that "heated", consisting of representatives of the administration, politics, energy supply, real estate industry and craft, accompanies the process and ensures that all relevant actors are included in the planning.

In the first session of the heating, the current status of the KWP was already discussed and the operational creation that began at the end of 2024 was promoted. The cooperation takes place closely with the consulting companies B.A.U.M. Consult GmbH and Fichtner GmbH & Co. KG, which develop cost -effective and low -surface options for greenhouse gas -neutral heat supply.

individual solutions and funding opportunities

The KWP is more than just a plan - it is a continuous process that drives the identification of potential solutions. Citizens were able to get individually advised in small groups and received information about contemporary heating solutions. They were supported by E-CON AG and the sieve roofs building cooperative, which offered valuable insights into network-bound solutions and renovation measures. Funding opportunities and legal framework conditions are also discussed, so that there is something for everyone.

The city plans to present the final results of heat planning to the public by the end of 2025. It is important to emphasize that not all of the options shown are mandatory - rather, these are voluntary opportunities to improve heat supply.

For those who want to know more, more information and advice for private individuals are available on the city's website. The KWP is an example of how active Memmingen invests in the future and relies on the participation of its citizens. Because only together can you master the challenges of today.
