On June 25, Minister Lex Delles presented a strategic framework for Luxembourg's thermal transition, underscoring the necessity for collaborative planning involving various stakeholders, including municipalities and industry. The European framework mandates thermal planning in major cities, impacting the City of Luxembourg, though it does not enforce the establishment of thermal networks.
Delles indicated ongoing discussions with local authorities to enhance their engagement through workshops and bilateral contacts. The relevance of thermal networks is contingent upon urban density, and concepts like 'waste heat' recovery and geothermal analysis were discussed.
An autumn deadline is set for a study assessing the potential of waste heat, which will inform national thermal planning. The involvement of end-users is critical; without broad acceptance, these networks may not achieve economic sustainability.
