Abstract

The opportunity to feed waste heat into a district heating network (DHN) may be essential for its utilization. In the EU and most Member States, there was no specific legislation regulating entry in DHN. The Renewable Energies Directive 2018/2001/EU (RED2) intended to enable third-party renewable or waste heat generators to access DHN. This paper elaborates the legal situation for third parties before the RED2, and compares with the legal situation after RED2 implementation. The paper concludes that the new legislation does not fundamentally change the third party generators' situations. Still, the DHN operator can deny a feed-in request.
