As I know the region I will add that there is a system of pipes for transporting the warmth until 25km away to the households. This is bc of the coal plant (Großkraftwerk Mannheim) that delivers this energy also.
It's nice to see a project helping to cool the Rhine River after he had been heated with nuclear plants (Phillipsburg, Fessenheim, Biblis) for such a long time!

The German project utilises the Rhine’s heat to provide warmth to 3,500 households
One of Europe‘s largest river heat pumps has been officially commissioned in Mannheim, Germany. The river heat pump operates by harnessing heat from the Rhine River, capable of generating water temperatures as high as 99°C.
It is set to play a pivotal role in the district heating supply managed by Mannheim’s energy provider, MVV.
The scale of this river heat pump is considerable, resembling the size of a house.
The new river heat pump boasts a substantial thermal capacity of 20MW and an electrical capacity of 7MW.
It is anticipated to deliver annual savings of 10,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions and is equipped to provide heat to approximately 3,500 households.
