A heating network (district heating or local heating) is well-suited for this area in the long term (light orange areas). It is possible that a network will be established in the coming years—but this is not yet certain. It must be determined where connecting to a heating network would make the most sense. Anyone planning a new heating system here should keep an eye on the current status of the plans. If you have any questions, please contact waermeplanungstadt.mainzde.

According to the municipal heating plan, these areas are suitable for connection to a heating network (district heating or local heating) that provides climate-friendly heat (orange areas). An assessment is underway to determine where connecting to a heating network would be most practical.

The high priority means that it is likely this type of heat supply will be implemented here in the coming years. However, this is not a binding commitment nor an immediate mandate for expansion. Anyone installing a new individual heating system here might still want to switch to the network in a few years—this should be factored into the decision.

Before planning to replace your heating system, it is recommended that you contact Mainzer Fernwärme:

In these areas, there are no plans to connect to a heating or hydrogen network (light blue areas). Heat supply here will primarily be provided by individual heating systems in each building, such as heat pumps or other renewable energy sources. A detailed energy consultation is recommended here to identify the best option for your specific building.

Heat supply here is to be provided primarily by individual heating systems in each building, such as heat pumps or other renewable energy sources. The high priority means that this type of heat supply is more likely to be implemented here. However, this is not a binding commitment. Nevertheless, now is a good time to plan your own heating system, seek advice, and apply for grants.
