#00048Fossil Heating Phase-Out in Existing Buildings
Basel-Stadt must disconnect 11,000 gas connections by 2037 under its constitutionally mandated carbon neutrality target. IWB is expanding the district heating network by 60 km at a cost of CHF 460 million, with gas shutoffs beginning in 2026/27 and reaching approximately 1,000 disconnections per year from 2028. The cantonal Energiegesetz already bans new fossil heating installations.
