The pioneering Warmindewijk project aims to connect a first group of at least 500 residents to a sustainable heat network within a few years. The residents of the Vruchtenbuurt have taken the lead in developing a sustainable heat supply for the neighbourhood. The ultimate goal of the project is to develop this for the entire Vruchtenbuurt, with the support and commitment of residents. After all, the decision to move away from natural gas has been taken at the national and municipal levels. It is going to happen. The only question is how and when. The time to shape it as residents is now! This is quite a big change. That is why, after consultation with residents from the neighbourhood and our partners, members decided to first carry out a pioneering project. With financial support from the European ELENA programme, they are investigating whether they can find at least 500 pioneers in the first section of the Vruchtenbuurt.
