The Rise of Solar District Heating

The energy and climate crises point in one clear direction – a faster transition towards clean renewable energy sources. Heat is half of the energy demand in Europe, making heat decarbonisation one of the main challenges of the energy transition. Direct renewable heat solutions like solar heat are already replacing imported gas, and one of the ways is through Solar District Heating.

Euroheat & Power and Solar Heat Europe are joining forces and addressing these topics during the webinar ‘The Rise of Solar District Heating’ that will take place on March 28th, 2023.

The event will bring together panellists covering the different perspectives needed for Solar District Heating deployment across Europe, such as financing, utilities, project development, and policy.
