Kusabelomali sango-2026, uhulumeni wobumbano waseJalimane uhlela ukwaba cishe ama-euro ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-1,4 ukuze kwandiswe amanethiwekhi okufudumeza asebenzayo nge-Federal Funding for Efficient Heating Networks (BEW), €400 million ngaphezu kwalokho obekuhleliwe ekuqaleni. Izimali ezengeziwe nazo zihlelelwe iminyaka ezayo. I-Association of Municipal Utilities (VKU) iyakwamukela lokhu njengesignali ebalulekile, kodwa igxeka ukuthi isamba asaneli ukushintsha okuthembekile kokushisisa. Umqondisi Ophethe we-VKU u-Ingbert Liebing ufuna okungenani ama-euro ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-3,5 ngonyaka ukuze aqalise ukuhlelwa kokushisisa kukamasipala, osekuzophothulwa komasipala abaningi. Ngaphandle koxhaso olwanele, uhlelo lusengozini yokulahlekelwa ukwamukelwa.
I-VKU iphinde igxeke ukudluliswa kwezimali ze-BEW zisuka ku-Climate and Transformation Fund (KTF) ziyiswe esikhwameni esikhethekile. U-Liebing ubona lokhu "njengesabelomali" sokudala isikhala ku-KTF sokuthola uxhaso lwamanani kagesi, okuphakamisa ukungabaza mayelana nokwengezwa kokutshalwa kwezimali kwengqalasizinda.
Kukhona nokungaqiniseki mayelana nokukhishwa kwentengo kagesi okuhleliwe kusukela ngoJanuwari 2026. Isabelomali esisalungiswa sabela ama-euro ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-6,5 ngezindleko zegridi yokudlulisa, kodwa i-VKU (Inhlangano Yabakhiqizi Bakagesi BaseJalimane) igxeka ukuthi ukuxhasa ngezimali ngokubambisana kuphela lezi zindleko kuzoholela ekukhululekeni okungalingani kwesifunda. I-Liebing ifuna ukuba kwehliswe izwe lonke, ukuncishiswa okufanayo kwezindleko ezengeziwe, njengoba kwakuthenjisiwe esivumelwaneni somfelandawonye, kanye nokucaciseleka ngokushesha ezinkampanini ezithintekayo.
I-VKU imele izinkampani zikamasipala eziyi-1.601 emikhakheni yamandla, amanzi, imfucuza kanye nezokuxhumana, ekhiqize cishe ama-euro ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyi-2022 ekuthengisweni futhi yatshala ama-euro ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyi-194 ngo-17.
