Since 2021, Eneco has been investigating, together with the municipality of Utrecht, whether a heating network was an affordable, reliable and sustainable option to wean the district off gas. “Its construction is expensive, while the heat demand in this district is relatively low,” Eneco said in the press statement today. Because the plans are now off the table, most of the district is still running on gas for the time being.
