28 November 2024, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Stralsund: View of the construction site for a district heating pipeline for the Knieper/GrŁnhufe district in Stralsund. Construction work is currently underway on a combined heat and power plant (iKWK) with a solar thermal system in Stralsund. In future, the plant will generate over 11 GWh of heat per year and will thus cover more than 10 percent of the network requirements of the Knieper/GrŁnhufe district heating area - the residential area with the most inhabitants in Stralsund. Commissioning and feeding into the grid are planned for mid-2025. Photo: Stefan Sauer/dpa
