Nearly all district heating is biomass-based in Sweden. However, not all plants generate both heat and power. Today, there are around 300 district heating plants (<10 MWheat) that only produce heat.

In September 2015, the Basque Government approved the Decree 178/2015 on energy sustainability in the public sector of the Basque Country, that regulates energy saving, energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy in the buildings of the government, regional bodies and other organisations
