The European Act!onHeat Support Facility is available to all local energy planners who want support to accelerate the energy transition through the improvement of heating and cooling infrastructures. This Support Facility has been active since 2022, actively guiding energy planners of municipalities through various support services, such as educational materials and methodologies on heat planning.

Some supported case studies include: 

• Zelzate (Belgium)
