I think from what I heard the problem with district heating in Germany is quite complex and as said probably not one of energy efficiency. It very much is as I understand a problem for a non-functioning market and problems with centralised planning. Often people e.g. need to subscribe to a higher energy base amount than they need. As there is only one player in the market and consumption is mandatory, there is few incentives to drive down cost structures and scale better with demand.
