Here in Poland we pay much LESS with district heating than decentralized one. If I would have to pay for decentralized heating of my flat, I'd need to use natural gas. But even before nat gas proces went to the moon, it was at least Here in Poland we pay much LESS with district heating than decentralized one 2x more expensive than district heating

Weird - natural gas was, up until last year, the cheapest of all options in Austria. My father used to pay more in base fees and taxes than the actual gas. For some people, prices now went up by x8, so it’s now the most expensive option. Many are looking into heat pumps + solar right now.

Polish district heating is mostly coal, hence the cost savings vs imported gas.
