Spatial Energy Planning

For many municipalities, the question arises as to how they can best implement their energy and climate policy goals according to the Paris Agreement and Net 0 and thus on a renewable and efficient energy supply. How can a low-emission and at the same time affordable supply be guaranteed for your municipality? We support municipalities in preparing for these challenges of a decarbonised and efficient heat supply.

Spatial energy planning is our instrument for achieving a climate friendly, reliable and future-proof energy supply. This instrument allows to coordinate the heat supply and creates planning security for investors while increasing the autonomy of the municipality.  

Our energy plannings are based on methods developed by us and offer decisive advantages, for example in determining energy demand GPM and production potentials as well as in the spatial energy analysis. TEP Energy's methods are widely recognised and have been used in various projects, such as for the federal government's Energy Perspectives 2050+ or for the study of the Swiss Heating Initiative (WIS) 

In consultation with the municipality, we adapt the procedure and content of the energy planning to the specific needs and local conditions. TEP basically offers two standard products, from which elements can be added or adapted as required.

• The offer «kommunale Energieplanung»: classic energy planning for small and medium-sized municipalities. TEP Energy's added value is the use of our well-established tools and the extensive data we have at our disposal. Based on this, we can deliver well-founded results with little effort.

• The offer «Energieplanung^+PLUS»: more extensive spatial energy planning for medium-sized municipalities, cities and regions as well as energy suppliers. In addition to the classical energy planning, the future development of energy demand is modelled here, taking into account various scenarios of different framework conditions: MuKEn 2014, revised CO₂-law, ZERO Basis and A, B, C of the Swiss Energy Strategy 2050+, Net Zero etc. We show, with spatial differentiation, which mix of energy carriers/technologies can replace fossil energies in the area of heating/cooling in buildings. These analyses offer significant advantages in the planning and implementation of future supply and in the calculation of the economic viability of grid-bound energy sources, especially for municipalities with communal energy suppliers. Based on this, we advise you on how to plan and implement concrete instruments and measures in the areas of competence of your municipality. A special focus is also laid on the development of appropriate monitoring. For further information: Produktblatt «Energieplanung^+PLUS» (only in  German)
