Summary
The heat transition in major cities in Germany is under the spotlight with a new heat map with district heating data compiled by E.ON.
The data shows that district heating is a popular method of heating in many large cities in Germany.
Of the four German cities with more than one million inhabitants, in three of them, Munich, Hamburg and Berlin, more than one-third of houses are already supplied with district heating. While in Cologne, currently with about one-tenth of houses supplied, it is planned to reach the one-third level by 2030.
Berlin leads the quartet of cities in the use of heat pumps with an over 4% share of all heating technologies, while in the other three the share is around half that at 2%.
