SH Power wants to network Herrenacker with other heating networks
Schaffhausen - SH Power übernimmt den Wärmeverbund Herrenacker. Dieser bezieht Wärme aus dem Grundwasser und verfügt über ein grosses Speichervolumen. SH Power will ihn daher mit anderen Wärmeverbünden in der Stadt vernetzen.
The Herrenacker heating association has been supplying municipal and private properties around Herrenacker in Schaffhausen’s old town with heat from groundwater since 1993. It belonged to a simple partnership in which the canton held 56 per cent and the city 44 per cent.
Now SH Power is taking over the heating network with retroactive effect from 1 July. According to a media release, the municipal energy supplier will pay the canton CHF 2.8 million for its share in the simple partnership.
SH Power intends to supply the entire old town with sustainable heat in the future. The Herrenacker network has a large storage capacity and is to be networked with other heating networks in the future.
