In addition, the Government will make substantial use of the potential of waste heat from industry, sewage treatment plants, etc… This recovery could supply heating networks as well as producing energy for both existing and future projects.

Similarly, the Government will promote geothermal energy for heating buildings and will analyse the measures to be taken to facilitate its adaptation while guaranteeing the protection of groundwater.

The Government will promote the extension of district heating networks and individual connections and will study the creation of a national company for the ownership and construction of district heating networks, in compliance with competition law.

The Government will support the use of alternative heat sources. To this end, the Government will promote the establishment of a ‘heat’ register, the development of heat networks and connections to these networks, and will analyse the advisability of creating a national company for the management and establishment of heat networks, in compliance with competition law.

No specific work in this regard is known.
