There are compounding issues too:

  • Most cities, even more pronounced in Western Germany, have lackluster district heating networks โ€” meaning green district heating concepts like in Denmark wouldn't work nearly as well.
  • There was a huge privatization wave in the 90s. Residential buildings in many cases now need to make a profit every year. High-capex measures that bring mediocre/hard-to-forecast opex improvements (entirely dependent on the price of fossil gas vs. electricity) like heat pumps are not going to win you fans among profit-driven investors.
