The core scope of work for this tender involves planning services for inter-municipal heat planning, including project management services, for six municipalities in the Ennepe-Ruhr district. The participating municipalities are Hansestadt Breckerfeld, Stadt Ennepetal, Stadt Gevelsberg, Stadt Schwelm, Stadt Sprockhövel, and Stadt Wetter (Ruhr).

The key work steps and deliverables include:

• Suitability assessment: This involves testing for each municipality.
• Inventory analysis: This includes a spatially referenced representation of the building stock by building and settlement types, and age classes for each municipality, along with data on energy consumption or demand. It also covers the analysis of heating structures of buildings and central heating and cooling infrastructure such as networks and storage. An optional component is the analysis of electricity grids.
• Potential analysis: This aims to identify energy saving potentials and local potentials for renewable energies and waste heat for each municipality. Optionally, it may include the generation/use of electricity from renewable energies.
• Development of a target scenario: This involves creating a target scenario for each municipality for the year 2045, potentially with individual milestones for 2030, 2035, or 2040, focusing on heat demand (final energy and CO2 emissions). It also includes developing a comprehensive representation of the planned supply structure for climate-neutral demand coverage, presented as suitability areas (zoning) for specific supply types.
• Creation of a heat transition strategy: This involves developing a municipal heat plan with a catalog of measures for implementation and achieving goals in the respective municipalities, including documentation and consideration of cross-municipal aspects.

Additionally, corresponding project management services are to be provided. The scope of services may be adjusted or specified during negotiations.
