Many European cities have inspiring stories to tell about how they have managed or how they plan their heat transition towards a 100% green, reliable system based on local sources and heat networks. With this in mind, we dedicate this month's newsletter and webinar to cities striving to build a sustainable future with efficient heating and cooling solutions.
On Wednesday June 17 at 14:00 CET, we will discuss with representatives from Helsinki, Zagreb, Dublin, Rotterdam and Villnius how they are working with the energy transition.
