Weikersheim is constructing two block heat and power plants (BHKW) and a thermal energy storage facility, projecting an annual savings of 500,000 liters of heating oil. The project will connect a biogas plant via a four-kilometer gas pipeline, allowing the local generation of heat and electricity.
The city aims to utilize the generated heat for school buildings, a sports hall, and a swimming pool, contributing to its climate neutrality target by 2045. The cost of the project is approximately €8.3 million, primarily funded by BioEnergie Tauberhöhe.
Completion is required by the end of the year to secure funding. If successful, this model may serve as a precedent for similar rural initiatives.
