The new plant will supply heat to 2,000 new district heating customers
Verdo to deliver a new district heating plant in Skive
Skive District Heating has appointed Verdo and the NCC-owned construction company, Jakobsen & Blindkilde, to be responsible for the construction of a new district heating center that will supply heat to new district heating customers.
Around 2,000 families in Skive can look forward to being connected to the district heating network when Skive District Heating expands its supply area with the new plant in 2024.
Verdo is behind the development of the plant itself and, thus, also guarantees that it will be a top-notch facility in terms of climate and environment friendly, flexibility, functionality, and, not least, security of supply.
“We know that biomass is quite an important component as far as ensuring a secure supply in matters regarding the green transition is concerned. We have been entrusted with the task of developing an energy plant that not only adheres to the highest environmental standards, but also capitalizes on our extensive years of experience and expertise. I am immensely delighted about this, as it allows us to deliver a state-of-the-art heating plant with high efficiency," says the sales manager at Verdo, John Martin Myrup.“
The 10 MW chip-fired plant operates using hot water and with Verdo's control technology, it can automate multiple functions at Skive District Heating Center. This makes it easy to handle various types of fuel without the need for personnel.
According to the plan, the biomass must primarily come from the local area in the form of Danish-produced wood chips, with the option of utilizing garden and park waste and other locally produced, wood-based biomass.
City gate to the city
The NCC-owned construction company, Jakobsen & Blindkilde, and the engineering firm Moe and Gottlieb Paludan Architects, will be responsible for the construction.
The district heating plant is being built in the western part of Skive at Holstebrovej, with the ambition that the building should appear as a city gate that expresses a strong green profile through its production plant and architecture.
The design of the building must create coherence between the center and the surrounding nature through an organic, architectural expression. Among other things, a grass roof must contribute to the natural appearance.
Construction is set to start in June, and the entire project is expected to be completed and delivered in spring 2024.
