How high is the price for District Heating compared to the competition?
Generally speaking, district heating systems stand in competition to gas and heating oil. The prices adapt themselves to the conditions of the local and regional heat market. The prices of district heat, however, are very stable as opposed to the price fluctuations on the raw material markets because the costs for fuel hold a significant smaller share of the prices as compared to decentralised systems (energy is replaced by capital). In addition, the possibility of the fuel diversification and the utilisation of domestic energy sources offer further supply- and price securities. The prices can vary strongly depending on specific market conditions, pricing components and national specifications.
