The village of Terherne in Fryslân, The Netherlands

Large scale pilot - Terherne, The Netherlands

The site
Individual systems - smaller inner waterways;
possible collective system based on 100% AE from lakes

Governance
EnergyCoöperation and Municipality. 
There is no clear structure and division of responsibilities;
The municipality is working on a formal position it has towards heat networks in general, this will also determine the rol it will take in the development and exploitation in Terherne.

Status
Exploratory
First studies indicate a difficult business case.

What can we learn from the pilot?
Determine your desired role and actions before beginning, and avoid skipping too many steps. Ensure there is a clear division of labor and responsibilities among partners.

Challenges
Difficult business case;
The absence of a problem-owner and the potential inactivity of the municipality's role in the future, coupled with the insufficient capacity and capability of initiators, are notable concerns.
