External financing of heat storage systems in small-scale district heating networks

Following the recently published report “Advice on Structuring Small-scale Heat Networks”, Invest-NL, in collaboration with IN.Credible, has analyzed in more detail what developers should focus on when applying for external financing for heat storage systems in small-scale heat networks.
The report answers the following questions:

• What should I consider with heat storage systems in small-scale heat networks?
• Types of heat storage systems
• Functions within the heat network
• What do financiers want to know about my proposal?
• How does a bank view the financing of my heat network?
• How do we collaborate along the chain?

In this way, developers can take another step forward to realise the necessary acceleration in the rollout of small-scale heat networks.
