PlanEnergi rounds sharp MW corner

The heat pump system at Hedensted District Heating, with its installed heat performance of 8.6 MW, has meant that the client advisor PlanEnergi has now rounded a sharp corner. Namely, 100 MW of heat pump capacity for district heating in Denmark.

Since 2012, PlanEnergi has been a client advisor in connection with the establishment of a total of 23 commissioned heat pump systems with a total installed power of just over 100 MW out of the almost 400 MW heat pumps established in Denmark during the period. This corresponds to 25-30 percent of the established heat pumping systems for district heating, PlanEnergi said in a press release.

Of the 23 heat pump systems on which PlanEnergi has been client advisor, two plants with a total heat performance of 2 MW are based on groundwater, three plants with a total heat output of 4 MW are based on solar heat, four plants with a total heat output of 17 MW are based on excess heat, while 14 plants with a total heat output of 73 MW are based on outdoor air as a heat source.

More on the way
It will not be at the 100 MW heat pumps that PlanEnergi has already helped to establish and commission. The company already has a lot more in the pipeline.
We have a further 13 heat pump systems with a total heat output of 56 MW in the pipeline, says Lars Reinholdt from PlanEnergi. And as in the past, the plants are based on a wide range of heat sources, such as air, seawater, excess heat from data centers, biogas and wastewater treatment plants.
