From heat to insight: frequent data & open standards for the next generation of district heating by Kamstrup

District heating is becoming a cornerstone of Europe’s energy transition. But as networks expand and integrate renewable and surplus heat sources, utilities need better visibility, better data and better digital infrastructure to operate efficiently and securely.

This session explores how open communication standards for smart metering enable scalable, resilient and future-proof digitalization of district heating systems. Experts will discuss the benefits of interoperable remote meter reading, examine the challenges of working with data, and present strategies to mitigate them.

The session will also highlight how modern technologies—including an OMS-based LPWAN burst mode communication solution—allow utilities to collect high-quality operational data from across their networks.

Finally, we will explore how district heating utilities can turn meter data into actionable insights, improving system efficiency, enabling smarter planning, supporting regulatory compliance and strengthening customer engagement.

For decision-makers, the message is clear: investing in digital infrastructure is essential for unlocking the full potential of district heating.
