It has emerged that fewer than 70% in sub-area 1 wish to connect. Furthermore, a contractor has not yet been found for all parts of the district heating network.<\/p>\n<h2>Two scenarios<\/h2>\n<p>The Municipal Executive has agreed to develop two scenarios in more detail. Together with the collaborating partners, they are examining whether it is possible to construct a smaller district heating network. They are also looking into the implications of not building the heating plant and not installing the district heating network.<\/p>\n<p>The local council is expected to decide on the next steps in December.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThis is not the outcome we have been working towards over the past few years. Many people have worked hard to make this district heating network a reality. At the same time, the local council set clear conditions, and these have not been met. We are therefore now looking ahead and investigating whether a smaller district heating network is possible, and what the implications would be if we do not build the heating plant or install the district heating network.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Ingrid de Bondt, Councillor for Energy Transition, Apeldoorn City Council<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Working towards sustainable heating in Apeldoorn<\/h2>\n<p>The aim is for Apeldoorn to be natural gas-free and energy-neutral by 2050. District heating networks are a key part of this. That is why the council is exploring what is feasible in Apeldoorn. This means the council is assessing where there is sufficient public support to take steps towards sustainable heating.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIn Kerschoten, we have worked hard over recent years to be able to provide reliable, affordable and sustainable heating. Many residents have indicated that they would like to make the switch to district heating. At the same time, it is up to the residents themselves to make that choice. We respect the fact that not enough people are yet in a position to make that choice. It is a pity that we are not yet able to proceed as we had envisaged. That is why, over the coming months, we will be working with the local authority and our partners to explore the available scenarios and determine what is actually possible. We will continue to keep residents informed about the next steps.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Andr\u00e9 Schiltmans, Director of \u2018Heat for the Neighbourhood\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>We are pleased that investigations are underway into whether we can start with a smaller district heating network. Such a start is crucial: it means that the heating plant will be built and that district heating networks will remain a viable option in Apeldoorn\u2019s energy mix. For a neighbourhood like Kerschoten, this is by far the best solution, both technically and financially. Our tenants agreed. Well over half of our tenants in sub-area I indicated they wanted to take part; that is a valuable foundation. If we let this opportunity slip by now, we will do nothing to advance the heat transition over the next ten years.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Arjen Jongstra, Managing Director of Ons Huis, also on behalf of the housing associations De Woonmensen and De Goede Woning<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Want to know more?<\/h2>\n<p>On <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/energievanapeldoorn.nl\/kerschoten\">energievanapeldoorn.nl\/kerschoten<\/a> Information for residents of Kerschoten.
