Aqotec’s feasibility study concluded that a second heating plant in Rimsting is uneconomical due to the lack of major customers and extensive pipeline length.

The estimated investment costs of approximately €11 million and increased network expenses pose significant financial challenges.

The current wood-chip heating plant operates satisfactorily with low risk, but its capacity will be maxed out after connecting seven new users.

High connection fees and ongoing costs are likely to discourage homeowners from joining, favoring heat pumps instead.

I am very sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
— Maximilian Zieher, who presented the feasibility study.
