Cooperation for sustainable energy supply in Arlesheim, Münchenstein and Reinach
Primeo Energie is teaming up with uptownBasel to utilise waste heat. The waste heat generated on the Innovation Campus site in Arlesheim is to be used to heat thousands of homes in the neighbouring municipalities of Basel.
Primeo Energie and uptownBasel are intensifying their collaboration. The two Basel-based companies signed “two important contracts” at the end of December 2024, explained Primeo Energie in a press release. Among other things, they aim to use the waste heat generated on the site of the competence centre for Industry 4.0 in Arlesheim to heat thousands of flats in the surrounding municipalities of Arlesheim, Münchenstein and Reinach.
To this end, uptownBasel partner Primeo Energie is making Building 4 available on a long-term basis. This is where the Münchenstein-based energy supplier will set up the transfer centre for the competence centre’s waste heat. The second contract concerns the site network. Under this contract, Primeo Energie is responsible for both the operational management and maintenance of the network on the 75,000 square metre site of the competence centre. The site grid includes high and medium-voltage lines for supplying energy to the site and its nine buildings.
