CPV Code 094 – District Heating
What does CPV code 094 cover?
CPV code 094 (District heating) covers the procurement of thermal energy via district and local heating networks. This includes heat supply contracts for public buildings and properties, connection to existing district heating networks, establishment of local heat islands for municipal quarters, and contracting models where a service provider takes over the entire heat supply.
District heating is gaining central importance in the context of the heat transition. Municipal heat planning, which has been legally mandated since 2024 for all municipalities over 100,000 inhabitants, is driving the expansion of heat networks. Public contracting authorities play a dual role: they are both consumers and often initiators of new heat network infrastructure.
Market dynamics
The district heating market in the public sector is experiencing fundamental change:
- Municipal heat planning: Every municipality must create a heat plan, triggering numerous follow-up tenders for network expansion and heat supply
- Decarbonisation: Existing district heating networks are switching from fossil to renewable heat sources – geothermal, large heat pumps, waste heat
- Contracting models: Public authorities increasingly award energy supply contracting where investment and operation lie with the contractor
- Quarter solutions: New development areas are planned with local heat networks from the outset
