Heat Map 2019 — Existing heat networks (points)

The ‘Warmtekaart Vlaanderen 2019’ was commissioned by the Flemish Energy and Climate Agency to implement the EU Directive 2012/27/EU on energy efficiency and the Renewable Energy Directive (EU) 2018/2001. The main products are maps for 2019 for the territory of Flanders showing the heat demand of large consumers and small consumers, results at the level of municipalities and statistical sectors, maps of existing and planned heat networks and finally locations of potential heat supply points. The study was conducted by VITO in cooperation with the distribution system operator Fluvius. You can consult the accompanying report here: https://www.energiesparen.be/warmtekaart For the year 2019, 58 existing heat networks in Flanders could be identified, i.e. 92 km in total (lot length). 52 of them could be mapped with their trajectory (see map layer ‘Existing heat networks 2019 (lines)’. This map layer shows the location of the remaining 6 heat networks by means of a point. The card layer shall contain the following information for each heat network: project name, type of network, municipality, heat system operator, heat grid supplier, supply to residential/industry/tertiary, temperature level, slot length, generators, amount of energy supplied to heat grid, share (non-)renewable (non-)residual heat, receive funding, funding from what resources and finally whether an extension of the network is planned. “Heat grid” means the systems covered by the definition of heat or cooling grid in the Energy Decree, Art. 1.1.3.133/2°.
