From Tangermünde.

Initiated by people who live here. Planned with partners from the region. Built for our neighbourhood.

Community-led.

Heating customers can take part in the project. Through a cooperative, we decide together what we pay to heat.

Simple.

The full house connection comes at no extra cost — it's included in the monthly heating price. No mandatory connection, no connection fees.

Example calculation

What heating really costs you.

Take a typical household in Tangermünde that heats with natural gas. The numbers hurt, even when you only see part of them on the bill.

  • Visible on the bill approx. € 245 / month
    of which approx. 15 % is heat lost through the chimney
  • What you tend to overlook (maintenance, depreciation, chimney sweep) approx. € 60 / month
Today with gas ≈ € 305 / month Visible bill plus hidden costs
With Elbwärme ≈ € 270 / month Corrected for chimney heat loss
You save
0 € / month

≈ € 420 / year

That's around € 420 in savings. Every single year.

Example household using around 24,000 kWh per year in Tangermünde. Assumptions: natural gas at € 0.1223/kWh, Elbwärme target price € 0.159/kWh, around 15 % chimney loss corrected for. We'll calculate your actual numbers individually. Illustrative rounded figures, not a quote.

Enough warmth for an entire town, in any weather.

Practically every letterbox in town.

Three times across the town from one end to the other, invisible beneath your feet.

0 m³ of storage

Heat held in reserve.

Eight Olympic swimming pools full of hot water, so you stay warm even when the wind sleeps.

What we borrow from the river.

Out of 1,000 buckets of river, we borrow two and return them three degrees cooler. The Elbe doesn't notice.
