Heating

The energy law group advises on heat supply planning and the statutory framework within the heating area, including the possibilities of establishing new decentralised heating generation capacity, change in the classification of areas that are currently classified as areas supplied with district heating or natural gas, etc.

The group has also advised on:

• the interpretation of heating wholesale contracts
• amendments and supplements existing heating contracts
• in some of the first municipal conversions of heat supply businesses into companies
• acquisition of decentralised power plants by external player.

The group has represented clients before both administrative bodies and the courts in cases of general public importance concerning the principle of substitution in relation to biomass-fired combined heat and power.
