The Public Services of Cottbus (SWC) currently develop new solutions to implement the “Energiewende” (energy transition) in the context of urban heat supply. This process happens not only on the level of the entire urban landscape but even more importantly on the level of the local neighborhoods. Taking this into account the yet existing heat supply stations could be remodeled and later used as “energy clusters”. To work on that idea INIK has studied different varieties of re-using the supply stations, action plans of participation approaches in the project and the perspective of urban renewal in the surroundings of the station.
