For district heating plants, PlanEnergi elaborates masterplans and basis for decision making where relevant alternatives are compared. With a masterplan or a basis for decision making at hand, the board of the district heating plant, together with the operation manager, can make the right decision through a solid and thorough basis.

A basic document for decisions will typically contain a technical description of the relevant alternatives, which will usually be solar heating, heat pumps, biomass, biogas or seasonal heat storage to be integrated in the present production units. The basis decision documents will contain energy, technic and economic conditions and sensitivity calculations are performed on relevant parameters, such as taxes, fuel prices and investment costs.
