Groupe E has inaugurated its district heating plant in Kerzers. The energy supplier's third-largest plant to date will have a capacity of 31 megawatts when completed and will supply 61,000 megawatt hours of heat per year. It will be fed 90 per cent with wood chips.
Groupe E inaugurated its new district heating plant in Kerzers with open days on 15 and 16 November. According to a press release, the plant will have a capacity of 31 megawatts when completed and can therefore generate 61,000 megawatt hours of heat per year. The heat will be supplied to over 90 households, vegetable growers, the Papiliorama and public buildings.
The plant will be heated to 90 per cent with wood chips from the region. This will save around 9000 tonnes of CO2.
It is the third-largest district heating plant of the Fribourg energy supplier after the one in Fribourg and in the Entre-deux-Lacs region.
