Webinar – Energy Communities & District Heating: A Practical Guide for Municipalities

How can municipalities use thermal energy communities (TECs) to secure affordable, resilient, and low-carbon heat? This webinar, co-hosted by the Covenant of Mayors, Smart Cities Marketplace, and the ConnectHeat project,will offer a practical introduction to TECs for local and regional authorities.

You will discover how TECs:

• Increase local energy independence and grid resilience
• Boost local economies and job creation
• Contribute to climate neutrality through energy efficiency and decarbonisation
• Engage communities in the energy transition
• Help reduce energy costs for households and businesses

Ideal for municipalities, energy agencies, and urban planners, this session will explore how to plan, implement, and manage TECs effectively—while building public support and long-term impact.

💬 Be part of the conversation and help shape the future of district heating and community energy in your city.
