Webinar: AVB&Co: Optimized pricing for green heating networks.
The AVB District Heating Ordinance (AVB Fernwärme-Verordnung), the relevant price regulation for local and district heating, is being fundamentally revised. At the same time, the prime cost structures and procurement risks are changing with the increasing integration of green heat generators into your heating networks. Both of these factors present you as a heat supplier with the challenge of finding a new, legally compliant, optimal price formula that is comprehensible for customers.
Time to get an overview and take the helm. At our 3rd webinar, this time in cooperation with DENEFF EDL_HUB and the energy law firm Ensight, we discussed the upcoming changes and what this means for heating suppliers in concrete terms with around 150 participants and renowned experts.
As a representative of the Federal Ministry of Economics, Dr. Jan Zerche gave a concise insight into the current draft status of the current amendment to the AVB FernwärmeV, while Rüdiger Lohse (EDL_HUB) and Karsten Ahrens (Ensight) explained specific implications for the heating industry and the concrete price formula design.
One of the most important findings, however, was that it is crucial, particularly in the context of the transformation, to simulate the real generation costs as closely as possible to operations and with foresight, including with new heat pumps etc., in order to ensure favorable consumer prices as well as the economic viability of green district heating in comparison with new price formulas.
Martin Bornholdt (Kelvin Green) presented the “HeatSim” software application, with which this can be easily achieved, and used a specific practical example to show how the interaction between generation costs and the working price formula can be represented.
At the same time, a starter package for smart pricing for green heating networks was presented, which can be requested from neerg.nivlek@tdlohnrob.nitram with immediate effect.
