SDHp2m stands for Solar District Heating (SDH) and actions from Policy to Market. The project addresses market uptake challenges for a wider use of district heating and cooling systems (DHC) with high shares of RES, specifically the action focuses on the use of large-scale solar thermal plants combined with other RES in DHC systems.
The key aim of the project is to develop, improve and implement in 9 participating EU regions advanced policies and support measures for SDH. In three focus regions Thuringia (DE), Styria (AT) and Rhone-Alpes (FR) the regulating regional authorities participate as project partners to ensure a strong implementation capacity within the project. In six follower regions from BG, DE, IT, PL, SE the regulating authorities are engaged through letters of commitment. The project activities aim at a direct mobilisation of investments in SDH and hence a significant market rollout.
SDHp2m follows up on the two successful projects SDHtake-off and SDHplus.
The project website solar-district-heating.eu includes a lot more information including a knowledge-database, SDH news and much more…
