Solar District Heating

PlanEnergi offers total consultancy and project management of large solar heating projects. PlanEnergi was a consultant for some of the first attempts on large solar heating plants in the late 1980s, and has worked in the field ever since. Thanks to the last 30 years of development in the field, solar heating is currently expanding rapidly in Denmark.

PlanEnergi has been involved in many large solar heating projects in Denmark, by being plant owner consultant and project manager of app. 20 solar heating projects for district heating.

PlanEnergi has also assisted several district heating plants with regulatory procedures, e.g. local development plan, EIA, application for environmental approval and project proposals according to the Danish Heat Supply Act.

Please find a map of the development of large solar heating plants for district heating in Denmark.

Please also see the current solar heating production in Denmark at www.solarheatdata.eu.

Selected project examples here:

  • One of the world’s largest solar thermal plants in combination with a seasonal heat storage in Dronninglund
  • Solar thermal plant for district heating in Marstal
  • Solar thermal plant in Brædstrup, in combination with a borehole heat storage
  • Solar thermal plant in Aulum at 15,890 m2, which may yield approx. 22 % of Aulum District Heating’s production
  • A combined CSP and ORC plant at Brønderslev Supply, where PlanEnergi has contributed the design and overall planning of the project. Please watch the video from Aalborg CSP: “Construction of 16.6 MWth CSP solar heating plant in Brønderslev”
  • Furthermore PlanEnergi is involved in several international SDH-projects, e.g. the SDHp2m-project and several tasks under the IEA SHC-programme.
