The Municipality of Den Haag is seeking an expert party to conduct technical, financial, legal, and organizational analyses for the transition of heat supply to a publicly owned heating network. Expenditures for the heating networks exceed €1 billion; additionally, large-scale work involving hybrid heat pumps and building adaptations is required in other neighborhoods.

The Municipality of Den Haag has the objective of making the heat supply of all buildings in Den Haag more sustainable. A heat transition vision has been established. Legislation is approaching that will largely remove heat supply from private parties and return it to public ownership. In this changing environment, Den Haag is looking for a definition of its own role: as a driver of the heat transition, as a competent authority, and potentially as a shareholder or as the full owner of a public heat company. The investments required to realize heating networks in Den Haag exceed 1 billion Euro.
