Summary of the Open District Heating System View
Open District Heating (Öppen Fjärrvärme) System
Recover heat with Open District Heating There is a large amount of surplus heat in Stockholm that no one is making use of. Now there is a solution to the question of what to do with this unutilised resource. We call it Open District Heating. With our innovative business model companies are able to convert costs into revenue. We offer long-term and transparent terms for trade in surplus heat and surplus capacity in heating and cooling systems. Versatility and profitability Large as well as small companies and businesses, whatever their circumstances, can participate in the scheme to sell their excess heat to Open District Heating. The aim is always to achieve profitability and efficiency for both suppliers and Fortum Värme. Added values for suppliers:
• excess heat and capacity are turned into revenue • heating or cooling systems are utilised more efficiently
• recovery forms part of sustainability efforts Sustainable cooperation All companies and businesses which have excess heat and are located close to our district heating or district cooling networks are able to sell energy to us at the market price.
Together with our pilot suppliers, we have developed a new business model for recovered energy. At the same time we have been laying the foundations for the next generation of urban energy systems. We hope that Open District Heating will in future lead to more sustainable cities in Sweden and internationally. See also www.oppenfjarrvarme.se
