The aim is to provide a connection for as many Munich residents as possible. SWM is investing over €200 million in this unprecedented expansion initiative to supply the west of Munich and southern and eastern parts of the city with environmentally friendly district heating. SWM will lay over 100 kilometers of new district heating pipeline as part of the program.
Ecological heating for an additional 120.000 homes
SWM anticipates a new connected load (including densification in areas already supplied) of 700 megawatts over the next ten years. This represents a 25% increase. It will allow SWM to supply an additional 120,000 Munich homes with green, attractively priced energy and prevent around 300,000 tonnes of CO2, which would have been emitted by oil-fueled domestic heating systems to produce the same energy output, from entering Munich’s air.
